EARTHQUAKE IN CHILE: IMPORTANT NOTICE
The big earthquake that hit Chile early on February 27 had a serious impact on the Maule and Bío Bío regions. The Cities of Concepción, Talca, Talcahuano, Constitución, Lota and small settlements located on the Pacific shore near these cities were the most affected. The rest of the Chilean cities remain stable and operating normally. Their airports have been opened and their flights resumed, and so have public and communication services. Nevertheless, we recommend that you make contact with local operators (hotel managers and travel agencies) or with the Chilean Tourist Office, which has implemented an online service to keep people informed about the situation in each area (www.sernatur.cl).
As of today, the City of Santiago, as well as the most representative cities to the North and South of the capital, such as Arica, Iquique, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta, La Serena, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Chillán, Los Angeles, Temuco, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Puerto Montt, the Island of Chiloé, Isla de Pascua, Pucón, Villarrica and all the southern districts up to Punta Arenas, the country continues to operate normally. People are distressed by everything that has happened but they will remain together to overcome this terrible moment.
Keep your head up, Chile!!! We are here for you.
