ufo tourism
The inhabitants of San Clemente, in Chile, know that we aren’t alone in the universe. Or, at least, that’s what it suits them to believe. Since they set up ¨El Enladrillado UFO Route¨ three years ago, this town in the middle of the mountain range has prospered. It has been given the official government tourism seal (Sernatur) and thousands of people go to the area to look for traces and signs of beings from other planets. The route is around 30 kilometres long and in the Altos de Lircay national reserve. In the highest part of the park, at 2,300 metres above sea level, there is a plateau called El Enladrillado.
It takes its name from the more than 200 giant blocks of stone there. Positioned as if they were tiles, they take us to the edge of a one thousand-metre high cliff. Many people think they are aliens’ landing and taking off runways. According to the theory defended by the famous Swiss writer Erich von Däniken and the Chilean anthropologist Rafael Videla, El Enladrillado was an airport for beings from other planets.
The former mayor San Clemente, Juan Rojas, explained it clearly on the day he opened the UFO route: “I know for a fact that the Martians chose us. They could have turned up anywhere, but they chose us. Do you all know why? It was because those guys from space know we’re good people, happy people. Maybe we’re not highly educated, we don’t have much social finery, but we have other types of wealth: nature, cows, little animals, mountains and water reservoirs. And the Martians are aware of that and have come here. There’s nobody from San Clemente who hasn’t seen a UFO. I’ve seen two and now, thanks
