Testimonies of those who traveled: “Arriving at Chañaral de Aceituno was like a dream. We love to explore little-known points on the map, with authentic natural beauty. It was an incredible joy to arrive in that quiet, pretty village, with its friendly people. We loved to watch the giant whales, walk through the town and chat with the neighbors. In the days we were there we looked like members of their families. Without a doubt, it was a surprising experience.” -Marcelo y Tainá
