Chile
Shaped like a ribbon and stretching over 4,300 km along South America’s western coast, Chile is a country of vast and beautiful extremes. To the north lie the otherworldly lunar-like landscapes of the planet’s driest desert – the sweeping Atacama – and to the south the dramatic vistas of Patagonia and the Torres Del Paine National Park. Home to glaciers galore, rugged ice-capped mountains, vivid blue lakes and plenty of epic scenery, Patagonia is a walker and nature lover’s paradise. Jaw-dropping landscapes aren’t the only things Chile has to offer. With its lush vineyards, world-famous wine, colourful coastal cities and a vibrant, multicultural and sophisticated capital, the country is a fabulous destination for those wanting a taste of South America.
