Chile has the Atacama mountain desert in the North, the glaciers and fjords of Patagonia in the south and a central, temperate Lake Region.
Few South American countries boast a landscape and climate as diverse as Chile. Although on average only 180 kilometres wide, it stretches over 4,000 kilometres from north to south which, in European terms, represents a distance and range of climates from Norway’s icy northern tip to the barren sands of the Sahara Desert in Africa. In between, Chile offers fertile valleys well-known for their high quality wines, and serene lakes with a backdrop of snow-capped volcanoes and the Andes mountain range.
Santiago offers a rewarding mix of grand European architecture, contemporary restaurants, galleries and hotels and compelling 20th century history. Tucked away in the Pacific ocean, the enigmatic Moai statues of Easter Island.
