CHILE - Andes, Glaciers. Cruise Heaven: Uncle Buck's Travel Saver and Guide (Uncle Buck's Travel Guides Book 5)

Chile is a land of scenery that makes seasoned and jaded travelers rave about their journeys into pristine landscapes as they immerse themselves into its fascinating history. Its very long coastline makes coastal travel on cruise ships and ferries an ideal way to see this vast country. If you are visiting Santiago and Chile either on a cruise ship which boards or debarks in Valparaiso and travels the Chilean coast towards Buenos Aires or vice versa, and if you like to save a lot of money by booking your own location tours - this manual is for you. The e-book also provides information for do-it-yourselfers bound for all of Chile, from the Atacama to the southern tip of Patagonia. The book is geared to North American and European travelers, with many unique and detailed cost-saving tips for a trip to Chile. It gives you detailed information to plan your own stays, with walkabout maps and high quality pictures of every tourist landmark. If you are on a package tour or on a cruise ship (which typically hits the coastal towns shown in the next map), the listed land tours shown in the guide and highlighted by red arrows in the map include dock or airport pickup and cost much less than pricey cruise ship tours or optional activities. Use this guide for big savings in all listed cities. Note that the first to get off the ship and board the Big-bus excursion tours are the cruise line shore excursions, but the private tour groups listed below get you there and back well on time because you are not in a bus-sized group but in a mini-van. Chile is a safe and affordable tourist destination, with amazing vistas, breath-taking mountains, glaciers and fjords and extremely honest citizens. If you want to see the incomparable Chilean glaciers and fjords, a cruise is just about the only reasonable option. Cruise voyages typically ply between Valparaiso (Santiago’s port) and Buenos Aires in Argentina or vice-versa. The highlights that you will always remember on the cruise are sedate Santiago, exotic Valparaiso, Chile’s vacationland of Castro- Chiloé’s Lake district, the Chilean fjords and Patagonia’s glaciers.
