The South America has always attracted travelers by its reach culture and nature. Nowadays, building comfortable hotels and offering tourists exotic “paradise” tours, it is getting even more popular. One of the most mysterious countries of the southern hemisphere is Chile (with its amazing mountain ski resorts and lakes). However, for a while now tourists are recommended to start journey to this country with another thing.

Starting to plan your journey to this extraordinary country, famous for its impressing landscape and diverse climate, you should first include in your plan the resort San Alfonso del Mar, situated in the town of Algarrobo. On the territory of this picturesque place, rich in 5-star first-class hotels, the company “Chrystal Lagoons” has built a swimming-pool, not long ago acknowledged by representatives of the “Guinness Book of Records” the biggest swimming-pool in the world. Earlier this title belonged to the Moroccan “Big Splash”, which is 136 meter long and 91 meter wide.
This is a real artificial lagoon, rather than a swimming-pool. Its length makes up one kilometer, and its capacity makes up approximately 250 thousand cubic meters. No wonder that the budget of the swimming-pool makes up 1 billion dollars, since it occupies the area of 8 hectares, and its depth reaches 35 meters in some places.

It is not surprising that a great number of people have already come to bathe in crystal clear salty water of the unique lagoon, created by man’s hands from the moment of its opening, since not a single rich man in the world can so far boast of such a giant swimming-pool where you may even boat. Thus, wealthy tourists who do not trouble themselves to pay 2 million dollars (maintenance of the swimming-pool demands this very amount of money), spend their pastime in the south of Chile.

Fresh sea water constantly and uninterruptedly comes to the Chile “monster” due to a computer system of water filtration and replacement. The temperature of water in the pool is rather comfortable. It naturally warms up to 26 degrees, which is nine degrees warmer than the temperature of the nearby sea. Yes, the authors of the grand project are definitely right to call it “an admirable artificial paradise”.
