Sun Protection
Because of the hole in the ozone over the Antarctic, Southern Chile is exposed to extreme ultraviolet radiation. Sun block with a minimum SPF of 30 is recommended for both your lips and skin. Polarized sunglasses will protect your eyes from UV radiation and hooks, as well as, help you to see fish in our gin clear waters.
