General Description
Located in South America, Chile is an irresistible destination, beautiful and safe, interesting and fun. From top to bottom, 4.283 km long, full of high living places and adventure-world spaces, gorgeous spots to be and exciting things to do, hospitable people to greet and choice venues in which to meet. Sited in the Central Valley between the Pacific Ocean and the Andean Mountains, Santiago is the cultural and commercial hub of the nation. Wine routes to the famous vineyards fan out from the city, rodeo spectaculars, seaside resorts with casinos and golf, ski resorts for downhill thrills, close-by nature reserves for hiking or rushing rivers for white-water rafting. To the north, the light and landscapes of the Atacama Desert are magical. The rewards are great in southern Chile: in the Lake District whose lakes mirror snowcapped volcanoes; in Patagonia whose glaciers and fjords are explored on land and by sea, and of course the ultimate far-out trip, offshore is Easter Island, the icon destination every over-achieving traveller. Few other places on Earth offer such incredible contrast in scenery, flora and fauna.
