A country of contrasts, ribbon-like Chile defies belief. Spanning 4300km in length and with an average width of just 175km, it seems almost impossible that this land even exists. But once you delve into the breadth of geographical offerings Chile provides, it becomes clear that the topography is just the beginning - arid wastelands, glacial formations and domineering mountains are just some of the visual encounters you’ll be faced with.
Chile is a fascinating country. Distinctive and stunning, it’s home to more than just scenic extremes. The people here are friendly, polite and welcoming. A culinary adventure awaits you in the form of exotic fruits, plump shellfish and delectable regional dishes. And the atmosphere remains tranquil and relaxed from region to region. This inviting melting pot creates a truly unique travel experience that’s quite unlike anywhere else.
