ITINERARY ]
The Rolling Hostel
(‘Hotel on Wheels’) is an unique experience that
takes you to one of the most inspiring and bohemian cities
within central Chile; Valparaiso.
Surrounded by beautiful hills, and dotted with neighbourhoods
crammed with houses, the port is a reminder to visitors of
the commercial and cultural significance of Valparaiso prior
to the construction of the Panama Canal. Many artists (such
as the poet Pablo Neruda) were inspired by the city’s
vibrant spirit.
Leave the city
behind and enjoy a breathtaking walk in the most beautiful
national park of central Chile; La Campana. Protected under
the red list of the IUCN of vulnerable species (International
Union for the Conservation of Nature) the park is home to
the unique and exotic mix of Mediterranean shrubs (Matrorral)
and endemic Chilean palms.
