Chile, a fascinating country, is full of numerous unique aspects that make it extremely interesting for travel.
The starry sky
One of Chile's most prominent characteristics is his fascinating starry sky. This phenomenal phenomenon is caused by the ideal conditions in the Atacama Desert, which is located in the northwest of the country. This area, where some rivers remain dry for over 120,000 years, creates the perfect background for observing the stars and the enjoyment of the grandeur of the Milky Way.
Ancient mummies
Chile is famous not only for its fascinating natural environment, but also with an incredible archeological treasure - the oldest mummies in the world. Mummy Dzhchorro, excavated in the Atacama Desert in 1917, dated two thousand years earlier than known Egyptian mummies. These well -preserved remains belong to the people of Dzhchorro, who lived in the region from 7,000 to 1 500 BC.
Water privatization
One of the unique features of Chile is the national privatization of water resources. This country is marked as the only one in the world where such a broad water privatization policy is different from other, less successful experiments, or those used on a temporary basis.
Underground shocks and earthquakes
Chile, located along the fiery ring, is one of the most seismically active countries in the world. There is a high probability of contact with earthquakes. The most powerful earthquake in history occurred in Chile in 1960 near Valdivia with a magnitude of 9.5 points on the Richter scale, taking about 6,000 lives. The 2010 earthquake, whose magnitude was 8.8 points, also left a noticeable mark.
Large swimming oasis
San-alphone-Mar Mar, located outside Santiago, can be proud of the largest swimming pool in the world. The Guinness Book of Records, this pool extends to an impressive length - 1000 yards (almost 1 km) and covers an area of about 20 acres, which is equivalent to about 16 football fields. With a maximum depth of about 35 meters, this pool is a real miracle for observation. Built over five years for almost one billion USD, it opened for total use in 2006.
