GHOST TOWNS, WHITE GOLD RUSH WORLD HERITAGE, Tarapacá I Region, Chile By Ale Mcalister

Humberstone and Santa Laura towns, have 1.5 kms of distance from each other, today they are remaining ghost towns that once had days of glory and wealth, home of many Europeans that immigrated for Wealth and business.  Most of these English adventurers, invested in the nitrate industry within the driest desert in the world and extracting the mineral known as “white gold “. Other nitrate plants that were also in the circle of important development in the area were Chacabuco offices, and Pampa Union Puelma Francisco today real ghost towns in the middle of the desert.

Humberstone, was built in 1872 by its owner The Peruvian Nitrate Company using the name La Palma, in commemoration of the battle in the town of the same name in Lima in 1855.  After the Pacific War ended the English firm Gibbs & Company was the new owner of Humberstone, by returning the certificates received for its previous sale.

Santa Laura, was built the same date Humberstone was, owned by the firm Barra y Riesco.  In 1915 the government bought it from the English owners Foelsch & Martin.  It became the second most important nitrate office and decayed started the World War II and also once the synthetic nitrate was introduced to the Chilean market.  The synthetic nitrate had prices that were almost impossible to compete with.

In 1932, Humberstone suffered the first strike and stopped functioning under the administration of Gibbs, and in 1958 closed permanently. Santa Laura offices also closed in 1960,  both were auctioned in 1961.
The nitrate offices or towns developed a large urban community and its own peculiar language, customs and cultural expressions, as well as a business and technology deployment, therefore these towns were witnesses of it.  The nitrate industry also were acknowledged as a major influence for the modernization of agriculture worldwide and one of the first multinational companies. The nitrate companies of northern Chile were the largest producers of natural nitrate in the world.

These small nitrate cities or towns were home of all the  workers, employees and managers that almost reached around 3700 people in those days, today abandoned ghost towns, that remember a wealthy past and today are an important cultural and touristic attraction in the area. Within the design and architecture of these cities which had a French Industrial Revolution influences and that today are an example of industrial archeology worth a visit.
Another thing that we can highlight from these nitrate cities were the construction of schools, hospitals, hotels, markets, sports facilities, swimming pools and even a theater, which brought International Shows and performances, examples of wealth and where you see that the people who lived here, had nearly all the commodities and entertainment in these mini cities that were in the middle of nowhere.

These nitrate offices are located in the North of Chile, 57 km from Iquique, and that today are real ghost towns abandoned completely, there are still remaining of what life was like for the people who lived and worked during the “white gold” rush, the Nitrate.

To visit this place, you can fly to the northern city called Iquique then visit the small town of Pica, Matilla and La Tirana also very attractive rural places and near this area as well and then go to these ghost towns that are close and then enjoy this unique experience, at the ghost towns taking a tour to its remaining buildings and houses.

CHILOE CHURCHES, FIRST EUROPEAN ICONS IN CHILE WORLD HERITAGE By Ale Mcalister

The Archipelago of Chiloe is located in the extreme South of Chile and has a rainy and cool weather in summer, but it rains all year. To catch a plane from the capital of Chile, Santiago, its approximately two-hour flight to the southern city of Puerto Montt, where it reaches land Chiloé route is to the point where you take a ferry, which go to people in Chacao. There are also Catamarans and Cruise ships and tour the channels and have a sightseeing view of the Big Island of Chiloé.

The Isla Grande de Chiloe is about 180 kms long and 50 kms wide. Today, the Archipelago has over 154,700 inhabitants. Within its biggest attractions are the 5 island groups surrounding it and of course the amazing channels, that are very important  to connect land and sea with the circulation of sailors of the early days and today, with the different points of the island.   We have the Canal de Chacao, channel located at the northern part of the Island with its 3-ports, and where the small boats sail to Castro, Tenaún and Achao.

It’s important to mention its attractive fauna and flora.  The result of the constant rains and thaws,, there are extensive forests of Arrayanes  or Myrtles, oaks and avellanos or hazels, together with the large fern forests.   The Pudu, one of the world’s smallest deer, and that is protected and the Mampato or small horse, which was brought by the Spanish the early sixteenth century. The Toninas or dolphins, sea lions and the seasonal visit of different species of whales, particularly the Blue Whale, make their coasts unique, and that will be protected area in the near future.

The story goes back to 1540s where the island of Chiloe was viewed by the early Spanish explorers. And in 1553 Francisco de Ulloa is the first Spanish explorer who comes to the Island, being the official discoverer sent by Pedro de Valdivia.

During the seventeenth century the Catholic order of Jesuits arrived in Chiloé to evangelize the 3 Indian colonies that existed on the island, the Chono, Caucahué and Huilliche, those living on agriculture and fishing. Most died out by strong pests such as smallpox and typhoid among others.
These catholic religious perform the so called “massive-circular evangelism groups”, and where over more than 80 chapels were built around Chiloé. Spiritually, this is reflected in the modus operandi of the circular task, held by the Jesuits to evangelize this sparsely populated, semi-sedentary, community and that were connected together by the sea so they built a religious community participation, making the local natives have a spiritual and community work, which they called “fiscales”.   Later on, the San Franciscans arrived and also had their religious communities established by the Jesuits earlier.

On December 2000, all the built and remaining fourteen churches were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage.  Subsequently, in 2001, added to its World Heritage list two other churches having a total of 16 churches scattered throughout the archipelago.

The recognition of the exceptional universal value that these churches represent and the main characteristic was that they were built of wood and the data of foundation goes back to the XVIII century. The churches that remained and were nominated are: Achao Aldachildo, Caguach, Castro, Shilling, Chonchi, Colo., Dalcahue, Detif, Ichuac, Nercón, Quinchao Rilán, San Juan, Tenaún and Vilupulli.

Saltos del Petrohue, wonderful South of Chile

Vicente Perez Rosales National Park is located in the Tenth Region, covering Todos Los Santos lake zone; in one of the most beautiful places of chilean south. This park was the first natural reserve created in Chile and is a perfect picture of the zone of forest and volcanoes.

To reach to Vicente Perez Rosales National Park you can take the way from Puerto Varas, a town located at 64 kilometers away from Petrohue, where the park is located. The distance of the road is almost imperceptible because of the amazing beauty of the valdivian forest, which offers greens of every tone, the Llanquihue lake which looks like an ocean and the impressive Osorno volcano.

When we are ascending through this winding road, we can watch Calbuco volcano, which has intermittent activity and a double fumarole. In its crater are red rocks, corresponding to the remains of the old eruptions, the last of them in 1996.

The road ends in the beach of Todos Los Santos Lake, located at 76 kilometers from Puerto Varas. This is other of the wonders in the zone, with its turquoise waters reflecting Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes. The waters of this lake aren’t cold in spite of its location in the mountain, because of the volcanic presence, which also give to the waters a pristine aspect and some minerals such as copper and sulfur

If the navigation continues for 20 nautical miles to the east, you will get to Peulla, a little town which is part of the Cruce Andino circuit, just as Petrohue. This circuit links Puerto Montt with San Carlos de Bariloche and Nahuel Huapi lake in Argentina and there is no terrestrial route between these two points, so the boat is the only way to get there. The navigation through Todos Los Santos lake is also an ecological adventure, where the visitors can observe the incredible nature of the zone, as beautiful as unforgettable.

This lake has two rivers, Peulla river and Blanco river, which drain in the Tronador hill. The Todos Los Santos Lake has its drain in the Petrohue river, which creates the famous Saltos del Petrohue, a capricious waterfalls which falls from three meters of altitude into the geographic accidents of volcanic rocks. This is a place for adventurous tourism and you can practice rafting and jet boat.

Vicente Perez Rosales National Park is surrounded by three impressive volcanoes: Tronador volcano, located right in the frontier with Argentina, which is covered by seven glaciers; Osorno Volcano, with more than 2000 meters and an almost symmetric cone but a treacherous climate which makes dangerous the descending of the mountain, and the Puntiagudo volcano, with 2400 meters of altitude and a summit that cannot be reached yet, because of its sharp slope and the unstable ground.

Because of the volcanic activity, next to the national park there are hot springs zones, like Vuriloche and Ranco. The park also has different climate conditions inside of its 220 thousand hectares, produced by difference in geography. Some zones has more rains than others, allowing the growing of different kinds of flora like ulmo, radal and coihue, trees covered by lichens and a deep forests with murta bush.

In the park there are also different species of fauna such as lizards, rodents, puma, pudues, culpeo foxes and others, besides of insects and frogs. In Todos Los Santos lake and Petrohue river the visitors can find rainbow trouts, chilean pejerrey and carps, and fly fishing is allowed.

Vicente Perez Rosales National Park is also surrounded by amazing places such as Ensenada and Petrohue, the magical shores of Llanquihue Lake and the wonderful towns of Puerto Varas and Frutillar, where you can watch Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes in all their splendor.
