So it was the same from the Bond film! I was wondering about it - thanks for the confirmation
I sure would love to visit Chile some day.

It is a fantastic photo! Look at all these stars. Even the royal court has chose the picture to their front picture of the royal familys website :-)

Now we only lack the photos from yesterday and then the visit is over. It is almost sad :-)

Billed Bladet reports that Mary's helicopter had to make an emergency landing on way to the Gaby mine and she arrived two hours late. Also, if the translation is correct, that they had no contact for some time it must have been a very worrying time for Frederik.

You have understood the the article correctly.
Unfortunately, Mary's helicopter lost the contact with its GSP during the flight. If this happens, the procedure says that the helicopter then, as soon as possible, has to make an emergency landing. It happened in the middle of the desert, but the landing went thankfully fine.
The special atmospheric conditions in the area meant that the pilot hadn't any contact with the ground. For this reason, he couldn't tell anybody about their problems and no one knew what was happening to Mary and why she didn't show up.
After the helicopter was landed it succeeded to restore the contact to the GPS, and Frederik and those who accompanied him, finally got a message about what there were happened. Then, the pilot could fly to the Gaby mine, which turned out to be only 20 km away.
It hasn't been fun, but it seems that everything went very well and undramatic. I think it has been a lot more worrying for Frederik and his companions in the time when they didn't knew anything about why they didn't show up and why they couldn't get any contact with them

Worrying for both Frederick and their security detail.

Here is 12 large HQ picures from Hola! with an article too
La princesa Mary, una intrépida fotógrafa en Chile
*
Still no pictures from the last event on the last day? 
But it has been a lovely tour. As another wrote, Mary and Frederik shines on these trips and it looks like they really enjoy each other despite a busy schedule. I look forward to their next trip too ...
And I can tell you that Mary and Frederik have returned home to a snowstorm. 15 centimeters snow is expected to fall in Copenhagen the next day. So no spring in Denmark 
I found a video from their last event

If the official programme was delayed for 2 hours because of the helicopter incident, it was much more than some long minutes....

At least they got some banked some sunshine at that solar facility before their return to snowy Denmark.
I see Mary's LIW was on the helicopter too. Looks as or more stylish than Mary with her tight pants and handbag
