Travel insurance does a number of things. It can protect the trip cost, as well as provide medical coverage on the trip, trip delay, baggage delay, baggage loss and a number of other important coverages.

Any time you leave the country, travel insurance is a must. This would apply to any person of any age and on any trip. Traveling to a foreign country with no medical coverage can be a life altering devastating experience. The cost of travel insurance (when the trip cost is low) is typically very cheap but ciritcal. Medicare and many US based health insurance plans will not provide adequate medical coverage while traveling outside of the U.S.

In the last 6 months, missed connections, baggage loss, baggage delay and trip delay are up over 57%. Having coverage for all these potential scenarios is crucial. Travel insurance is powerful for many reasons- it can protect you financially, protect you medically and also protect you against the inconveniences of modern day travel.

 

 

Top 3 Things to Do in Chile

The Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean, just southwest of Sri Lanka is known for its countless islands surrounded by white sand, palm trees, and water that is too clear to believe. If you want to pamper yourself, then a luxurious resort is the perfect place. But if you venture out, there are cultural wonders and wildlife encounters that will be unforgettable. This is the ultimate vacation spot!

1. Easter Island and Rapa Nui National Park

Easter Island, a remote and magnificent island that was first visited by Europeans on Easter Sunday 1722, has been inhabited by Polynesians for thousands of year. This fascinating island, with its amazing stone sculptures, is more than 3,500 km away from the mainland Chile. It remains Chile‘s most recognized attraction despite being so far.

 

Rapa Nui National Park (the island has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site) protects 887 Moai statues. The largest collection of Moai is found at Ahu Tongariki, where 15 have been re–erected on island‘s biggest Moai platform or “ahu.“ Anakena, one of the best beaches in the country, is located on Rapa Nui. This short, beautiful stretch of coral white sand makes a great place to take a break after hiking. The “hare paenga“, or ruins, near ahu are also worth a visit. These ruins consist of stones that were once used to build houses in the shape of boats. The Father Sebastian Englert Anthropological Museum, located in Hanga Roa (the main village on the island), is also worth a visit. Its exhibits relate to the Polynesian Islanders‘ history and traditions.

 

2. Cape Horn

 

 

Cape Horn, considered a holy Grail by travelers, is the yachting equivalent of Mount Everest. If you can make it here, the effort will be worth it, even if only for the bragging rights. Cape Horn, the last stop before Antarctica, is also the southernmost point of the globe. It has been a sailor’s graveyard for centuries because of its remoteness, it’s dangerous coastline, and its rough seas

 

Passengers can climb the short cliff to reach the Cape Horn Memorial Sculpture, which is the perfect tourist spot for a selfie. The breathtaking views and monument welcome you to the bottom.

 

3. Santiago: Chile’s Cultural Capital

 

Santiago, the main transport hub of Chile, is the place where most tourists begin their Chilean journeys. They then head to the Andes and other natural wonders, like Easter Island. Smart travelers will spend time in Santiago on their Chile itinerary.

 

The city was founded in 1541, but is relatively quiet. It has many points of interest, including the Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda (a modern cultural center that occupies a part of the Palacio de la Moneda) and the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts. It was founded in 1880 and focuses on Chilean art. The museum has a huge collection of photos, paintings, and sculptures.

 

Spend some time in the Santiago Metropolitan Park, a large urban green space. You‘ll also find the Chilean National Zoo and a funicular train. You won’t be disappointed!
