normal wind day in Bahía Inglesa

One of the most famous beach towns in northern Chile. White sandy beaches, frendly locals. Situated in the Atacama desert the bay is perfect for kitesurfing and very safe for beginers.
Great place to stay and enjoy your kitesurfing holidays only with two or three people in the water and a realy funny after session beer in the bars and restaurants near to beach (part of the local tradition).
