Juan Fernandez
| |
| |
A dependency of Chile - three islands, Robinson Crusoe, Alejandro Selkirk and Santa Clara.
Very few cruising yachts visit this island group but they are well worth the visit.
Be aware that it is not possible to clear out of Chile here as there is no immigration presence ( PDI) in the islands. You must either clear with immigration on the mainland or carry on to Easter Island.
