Chile

Chile, a long, narrow country stretching along the western edge of South America, presents a land of staggering contrasts and natural wonders. From the world's driest desert, the Atacama, in the north to the colossal glaciers and wild fjords of Patagonia in the south, its diverse geography is a paradise for adventurers. In between, you'll find fertile wine valleys producing world-class vintages, the vibrant and sophisticated capital of Santiago nestled beneath the Andes, and the mystifying ancient Moai statues on the remote Easter Island.
