Chile

From tip to toe, Chile stretches over 4,300 km, from the searing heat of the mineral-rich Atacama Desert through vineyards and orchards down to the freezing icefields of Tierra del Fuego and rugged Cape Horn. Volcanoes, lakes, beaches forest, fjords, Chile has them all, squeezed between the snow-capped Andes and the Pacific Ocean. In the centre of it all, discover the capital Santiago, the political, cultural, economic and intellectual hub of the nation, served by the fascinating port of Valparaiso.
