Chile is a land of extremes: from the arid lunar landscape of the Atacama Desert in the north, to the mountains, fjords and glaciers of the south, with fertile valleys, lakes and volcanoes in between. This incredibly long, incredibly narrow, country, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains, which run down the entire length of the country, boasts diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, pristine wilderness, world-class wines, and some of the best star-gazing opportunities in the world.
Much of northern Chile is desert. Here, in one of the driest deserts on earth, you will find clear skies, wildlife, culture, and ancient ruins. Visit the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), the Tatio geyser field, Atacama Salt Flats, and beautiful blue lagoons.
Central Chile is a temperate region, with fertile valleys allowing the production of world-class wines, such as the Maipo Valley just south of Santiago. After touring the vineyards, head to the coast to explore the port city of Valparaíso, and then relax on the beaches at Viña del Mar.
In the south, the Lake District is a great option for a self-drive trip, with its wonderful green landscapes, pristine lakes and rivers, evergreen forests, wilderness reserves, and snow-capped volcanoes. The Chiloé Archipelago is home to some of Chile’s last 'palafitos', distinctive wooden houses on stilts, once the dwelling of choice for most of Chile’s fishermen.
Head down the Carretera Austral, one of the world’s most isolated and scenic highways, into Patagonia. Go trekking in Torres del Paine, with its granite peaks, forests, lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, abundant wildlife (including guanacos and pumas) and spectacular hiking trails.
Rapa Nui (Easter Island), off the coast of Chile, is the most isolated inhabited island in the world, famous for its 800+ moai, monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people.
Wherever you go in Chile, you are sure to find welcoming, hospitable people.
