Vallenar Travel Guide
Chile
Vallenar is a city of 44,895 people in northern Chile. It is set inland in the country’s semi-arid north, rather than directly on the coast, so it is better suited to a town visit than a beach holiday.
Travellers arriving by air use Vallenar Airport (VLR). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so coastal trips require travelling farther afield.

Tipping: Tipping is customary in Chile for good service. While not legally required, it is widely practiced, especially in the service industry. Bills in restaurants may already include "propina", but it is optional and can be adjusted.
