So it was a bit of a let down to discover that Chile is NOT in fact the best place to go for BEACHES!!! Ya they have a lot of coast line... but the water is freeeeeeezing and well I guess we didn´t come at the right time of year because every supposed beach resort we turned up in... were pretty much ghost towns.
After Mendoza we checked out Valparaiso - a bit run down but cute at the same time if you can imagine. We did spend one day on the beach... venturing only far enough into the ocean to wash the watermelon juice off our legs.
After Valparaiso we tried for another beach town called La Serena... much cuter but even less of the beach scene! It did have a random Japonese garden that manged to occupy our time for a good 45 minutes or so...
Around this time we were just dying to get out of Chile! But one more stop... the desert!
