Chile

A long, narrow country on South America's west coast, with astonishing landscapes from the Atacama Desert to the glaciers of Patagonia.

Chile stretches more than 4,000 km along South America's Pacific coast, with the Andes rising to the east. The north holds the Atacama, the driest desert in the world, and prime stargazing sites. The center is home to the capital Santiago, the port city of Valparaíso and wine regions. In the south, volcanoes and lakes line the Lake District, and the wooden churches of Chiloé Island have a character all their own. Torres del Paine National Park at the far south is a hiking mecca of Patagonia, while Easter Island is famous for its moai statues. Patagonia is best visited from November to March, while the northern desert can be visited year-round. The main gateway is Santiago International Airport.
