Mangareva is the largest islands in the Gambier Island group in French Polynesia. Mangareva is famous for its pearl farms and visitors have the opportunity to visit the pearl lagoons. There are an array of significant sites on these islands including more than one hundred stone buildings built in the 19th century, such as churches, convents, weaving workshops and watch towers. Mangareva has beautiful white sandy beaches, and clear blue waters for visitors to enjoy.

Ducie Island is a small island atoll in the South Pacific. The Island is home to an abundant variety of birdlife and is closely monitored so as to not introduce new plants and wildlife to the Island. The island is quiet and rarely visited, and you will have the opportunity to enjoy exploring the island's colorful lagoon, and coral beach.

Santiago, like Chile in general, has enjoyed a renaissance of cultural, intellectual and especially commercial activity for more than two consecutive decades. The Andes Mountains overlook Santiago's eastern edge, and their snowy peaks provide good hiking, skiing, rafting and kayaking—and the beach is only a short drive away. Small wonder it is the country's capital and largest city, as well as one of the continent's largest metropolises.

Centro (downtown Santiago) is still dotted with Spanish colonial buildings and old churches, as well as many sparkling new modern buildings. Other neighborhoods house international restaurants, upscale boutiques and lively nightlife. Tourist areas are compact, and the resident Santiaguinos are pleasantly helpful. The city has a certain efficiency not found elsewhere in Latin America, and an obvious prosperous feel to it. The major drawback is that ongoing development and traffic congestion have created air pollution and smog, and the shanty towns on the outskirts appear to be growing (albeit in a controlled state).
