Chile Tourist Information
Chile is a narrow country in South America between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean with over 3000 miles of coastline. Chile offers a diversity of landscape from the isolated moonscapes and pink flamingo-filled lagoons in the northern deserts to the green vineyards of the Central Valley. Explore the rainforests in the Lake District or be mesmerized by the glaciers and dramatic peaks in Patagonia. In the Pacific Ocean, Chile also claims Easter Island, which has a mysterious history and civilization.
Because of its long and narrow nature, navigation can be a little challenging. If you're short on time, but not money, consider taking a few flights to ensure that you see everything you intended in your trip. Chile truly does have a lot to offer the visitor.
