Chile: Forest Fires Burn up Season of Adventure Tourism

By Larry Habegger and Andrew Davis | Permalink | No Comments | January 11th, 2012 | Trackback

The U.S. State Department issued another travel alert regarding the ongoing forest fires in Chile. This alert updates the Dec. 30 notice, and singles out the following high-concern areas: the 12th Region Magallanes, location of the Torres del Paine National Park, the 7th Region Maule and the 8th Region Bio Bio. January is Chile’s peak summer tourist season, and many will no doubt be turned away from affected areas that are renowned for their wealth of outdoor sports and adventure tourism attractions. Torres del Paine National Park is one of the areas hardest hit; authorities closed the park entirely Dec. 30, then reopened portions of it Jan. 4.
