Chile Travel Guide Directory

http://www.8O0.net

The purpose of our travel guides is to provide the travelers with as much information about Chile as possible. This includes all aspects of Chilean tourism and entertainment, history, and culture. Our guide will help you in planning your vacations and give you an opportunity to explore and experience these dreams.

Chile has this exclusive honor of being the thinnest country in the world if you compare its length with its width. Our detailed information through our travel guide will help you know how marvelous this thin strip of land is.

The places you can visit here are really unique to Chile. This list will surely give you an idea how Chile is distinctive.
Atacama Salt Lake is an inland sea which was formed millions of years ago.
Puerto Varas, also known as the “City of Roses” is worth a visit.
San Pedro is an unusually colorful village which is located in the middle of a green oasis. It is a very small, picturesque town.
El Tatio Geysers is a geothermal field. A powerful burst of steam shoots out at dawn from various blowholes and condensate in the cold air.

Visit Valle de la Luna to observe beauty of the scenery which gets intensified during sunset. In the afternoon you can enjoy the silent moonscape of Valle de la Luna with a backdrop of snow covered volcanoes.
Plan a visit to San Pedro de which has impressive rock fortresses on the mountains. The colonial church is the largest and most beautiful church in this region. The extraordinary archaeological museum of Padre Gustavo Le Paige shows several amazingly well preserved mummies, including one known as “Miss Chile.”

If you are really fortunate and plan it well in advance you can land in Chile at the right time and witness the Wines of Chile Fall Festival. We are here to plan it just the perfect way you want it to be.

I’d like some information on buying a vacation home in Europe?

We are an American couple in California considering purchasing a vacation home in Europe (either Italy, Spain or France). Has anyone done this? Are there are sites you can recommend for info? I am most curious as to whether we can finance the purchase like we would in the US. Thanks in advance!

I appreciate that it can be difficult when you live so far away from here, but please ensure that you thoroughly research your purchase and don’t just jump straight in. Spain has a number of property laws that are not given enough consideration by overseas buyers – such as the Coastal property Law or the LRAU (Valencia land grab law) and in almost every case some half decent research and legal advise could prevent a bad purchase.
Have a look at this article to get an idea of some of the things that you should be thinking about – http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/113-how-can-i-protect-against-an-unwise-property-purchase.html

Are there any helpful tourism videos/information about Bosnia?

I plan to travel around Europe and Bosnia will be one of my travel destinations, but I can not find many good travel informations on the country. They have travel websites but I am looking for some video and maybe some ideas of the best place for tourists to visit.

Well if you go to Sarajevo the capital city you will find tourist attractions around every corner . And you can also visit the Mountains and Pyramids .

Can travel agents use their miles to purchase tickets for customers without first notifying them?

My friend purchased a plane ticket with this and when he tried to link his frequent flier account with the reservation, the airline told him that he cannot earn miles with this since it was purchased with frequent flier miles. I understand tickets purchased with miles cannot accrue miles, but the travel agent never alerted him that she was going to use frequent flier miles and I don’t believe this is standard practice. Is this allowed?
I meant her own miles.

But the underlying issue is that the agent never alerted him about the use of her personal miles.

"If you mean the air miles used to purchase your friend’s plane ticket originally belong to the travel agent, yes it is allowed. For many airlines, the dirt cheap air tickets do not earn air miles too, not every ticket is entitled to air miles. For travel agents, using their own air miles to book a ticket for a customer at a low price is one of their ways to make a profit and there is nothing wrong with it."

This is completely wrong. By taking money and then using his or her miles to book the ticket, the travel agent is selling awards, which is explicitly in violation of the terms and conditions of nearly every single frequent flier program operating throughout the world today. Not only is this practice bad for the seller — the airline may choose a number of penalties for the account holder, including the forfeiture of miles or the closure of the account altogether — but the buyer of the ticket can be penalized as well.

The airline, under the terms of the frequent flier program, usually has the right to terminate the award ticket if they determine that it has been sold in violation of the program’s rules. This means that your friend, if it’s discovered that he purchased an award ticket, may either not get to go on his trip at all, or if they discover it when he’s trying to come home, he may be forced to buy a walkup one-way ticket back home, which could be extremely expensive.

(If either of these things occur, then your friend will only have recourse against the travel agent in trying to get his money back — the airline’s terms are clear that the ticket can be unilaterally cancelled.)

It doesn’t matter whether the ticket would or would not have earned miles based on the fare code — when a person buys a ticket from a travel agent, I venture that they’d have a reasonable expectation that they were buying a revenue ticket, and not just buying an award that runs a risk of being cancelled from under them if the airline questions where the award came from. For that reason, I’d highly suggest that your friend speak to this agent and ask for a refund — barring that, I’d personally consider filing a chargeback with the credit card company, if a card was used, based on misrepresenation of the item purchased.

Jamaica Travel Video

Promotional video from the Jamaica Tourist Board.

See our Definitive Caribbean guide at http://www.definitivecaribbean.com/guide/Jamaica.aspx

“Jamaica always repays adventurous travellers. Of course, you can opt for complete calm and inactivity in one of the Caribbeans coolest hotels if you choose well – but the island is such a lively place that it is definitely worth exploring. To begin with it is fantastically beautiful, more than almost any other island.”

Dubai Families – travel guide – Teletext Holidays

www.teletextholidays.co.uk –
In the next few years, visitors to Dubai will be able to enjoy the kind of family attractions that may put the likes of Orlando firmly in the shade. The snow dome and indoor ski slope are up and running and the rulers of Dubai are planning to spend £2 billion on the construction of Sports City, a complex which will sit within a gigantic area known as Dubailand.

Sports City will incorporate a Manchester United soccer school, a Formula One theme park in 2009, a second indoor ski dome, and a life-sized replica of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

There’s also Wild Wadi, one of the most advanced water theme parks ever designed. It has an Arabian folklore theme and some of the highest and fastest water rides outside of North America. Try Jumeirah Sceirah, which drops you 108ft at 50 miles per hour.

Information Please on Vacation from Costa Rico to the United States?

I have a friend who lives in Costa Rico, she would like to come and pay me a visit in the U.S.
Can any one please inform me as to whether or not she will need a visa? How she would obtain one if she needs one? How long of a stay is she permitted?
Any help and/or information would be appreciated.
Thank-you.

Yes, she will need a tourist visa (also called a non-immigrant visa).

Note that if she’s young (under 30), doesn’t have a very good, steady job (must bring proof), doesn’t have a decent amount of money in bank (must show bank statements), and/or owns property or a car, she’s probably not going to get the visa. The US is very selective in who they give tourist visas to in CR. Basically, she MUST prove to the immigration official who will interview her that she has a good reason to (and will) come back to Costa Rica. All applicants are presumed that they intent to overstay the visa illegally. She will have to prove to them that she will come back.

If she doesn’t satisfy at least 2 of the conditions that I mentioned , don’t waste your money, she won’t get a visa. It costs $14 for the appt and $140 for the visa interview.
