Exploring Chile

I traveled to Chile.  The places I visited were Easter Island, Torres del Paine National Park, and Atacama Desert.

At Easter Island I saw the Moai Statues.  They were huge!  I ate Tunu Ahi, a tuna dish.  Plus, I explored some of the many caves on the island.  I also went scuba diving.

My second destination was Torres del Paine National Park located in Southern Chile.  I hiked in the beautiful Andes Mountains.  This was my favorite part of Chile.

The last spot that I visited was the Atacama desert.  It is the driest place on Earth.  Some plants do grow there in spite of this.  In fact, I got to see a very rare native plant called llareta.  I also saw the white-capped volcanoes.
