Robinson Crusoe Island - Chile - September 18th. to September 23rd.
To local divers in Chile and abroad that want to visit and scuba this island that was e refuge of the famous castaway Alexander Selkirk.
Robinson Crusoe Island was created by several volcanic explosions which gave life to the group of Juan Fernández Islands. The island was discovered in 1574 by Alejandro Selkirk who was motivated by the writer Daniel Defoe to immortalize the island in one of the literature classics that was named after him.
The island is situated 667 km from the continent, in front of the city of Valparaíso. Robinson Crusoe Island is part of one of the most beautiful natural reserves in the world, the wonderful Juan Fernández Islands. The fauna and flora found here are very unique. Neither time nor progress has been able to capture the magic and charm found here.
