Details
The safari-park is a unique and single project in Chile to approach people and especially families to wildlife that does not exist originally in Chile rather than in Africa and other far countries. The park has been established with the purpose to educate kids and even their parents about the uniqueness of these animals and about the importance to conserve and protect them. Always keeping in mind the welfare of the animals, the park allows visitors to get very close to wild lions, tigers, monkeys, bears, and so on. Visitors are guided through the park via special safari-jeeps. Some areas and enclosures can be explored walking.The park is situated south of Santiago. Additionally to Safari adventure, the park offers different sports and leisure activities like horseback riding, a swimming-pool, a climbing wall, play grounds, among others.

Country
 Chile is truly a country like no other in South America. This country embraces the long and narrow Pacific Ocean coastal region to the east, embedded between the Andes Mountains and Argentina to the west, while bordering Bolivia and Peru to the northwest. Chile takes great pride in being the longest country in the world with a width of 115 miles and an incredible length of 2,700 miles. Due to the country’s vast length, a wide range of climatic zones and weather conditions exist with a daily average of thirty-eight degrees difference between northern Arica and southern Patagonia.
While the country’s total population adds up to about 16 million, almost 6 million (40%), Chileans live in the country capital of Santiago. About 85% of the country's population lives in urban areas, while an incredible 15% of the population are responsible for agricultural productions of oranges, avocado, flowers, melons and much more. Moreover, the relatively small central valley around Santiago dominates the country in terms of agricultural resources. If your Chilean travels take you outside the economic and cultural side of Chile, you will find landscape variety in forests, grazing lands, spectacular volcanoes, rocky/sand coasts and shimmering lakes. With a little extra local knowledge, you might be lucky to discover the labyrinth fjords, beautiful inlets, remote islands and historic glaciers. Chile’s most known attractions for adventurers and culture seekers alike are Easter Island, Robinson Crusoe Island, the southern region of Patagonia and famous Altiplano in the north. Further, within a two-hour radius from Santiago are spectacular beaches, glacial hiking, climbing, biking, surfing, wine tours and much more. From the world’s driest desert in the north, endless coastline in the west, majestic Andes in the east, smoking volcanoes, virgin forests, lakes, fjords, rivers and glaciers in the south, there is something for everybody in Chile. The best time to travel to Chile depends greatly on what you hope to see and do. If your mission is to play hard in the southern region, the most accessible months to the backcountry of Patagonia are December through March. The months of November through February are fantastic for long days, hot, dry weather and empty city streets in central Chile. For skiers, along with rain in the city, snow begins to fill the mountains again from July through September. In northern Chile, the Atacama Desert is easily accessible all year. March is a general all around ideal month to explore Chile from north to south because this is the transition time between the winter cold and rainy seasons. We believe you’ll find Chileans are generally quiet but welcoming people. They are very proud of their amazing country and love to talk about its endless variety. The Chileans are very kind, helpful and will soon consider you to be their amigo so you will never feel lonely. Don’t forget the mention to a Chilean about their National soccer (futbol) team going to the 2010 World Cup!
