Charming Chile - A Travel Video

Chile is one hell of a charming and colorful country to travel in, from the adorable culture of Easter Island to the alien landscape of Atacama, and to the pristine lakes and mountains of Patagonia. Charming Chile will take you to all of these places and more! Be sure to watch to the end and beyond for some fun extra videos. ;)

Easter Island! After 4 years of wanting to visit the island, I finally made it, and wow, was it well worth the effort! As I traveled down from the Atacama desert through Santiago to Patagonia, I witnessed the wonderful port city of Valparaiso, hiked up to witness lava spewing from Villarrica Volcano in Pucon, walked the famous Torres del Paine trail in Patagonia, and ended my Chile trip at Easter Island, celebrating with the locals at one of the best festivals in the world, the Tapati Festival.

Easter Island was definitely the highlight of the trip and the best way to end my 6-month long journey in South America. I rented a quad bike and drove around the island for 5 days, enjoying the clear sky, lying on my bike under the clearest Milky Way I've ever seen, watching the sunrise behind the Ahu Tongariki Moai head statues, and witnessing the Rapa Nui people celebrate the greatest festival of all, the Tapati Festival, dancing their hearts out. All of that is compressed into this 7-minute video!

7 minutes may seem long for a travel video, you ask? Don't worry, the travel video itself is around 3 minutes as usual, but be sure to watch all the way to the end and beyond for some extra content. ;) As some of you may know, I like to leave extra footage at the end of my travel videos for those who watch until the end, and "Charming Chile" is the only video where this extra footage is almost as long as the travel video itself, as I have a ton of unused clips from the Tapati Festival that I want to share with you.

I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did traveling through the country!
