An 18-Day Overview of Chile
Chile is a country of contrasts and striking beauty that offers an enviable combination of security, natural wonders, and excellent services.
Chile is the most southerly nation in the world, and is separated from its neighbours by natural barriers. In the north one of the most arid deserts in the world; to the east one of the greatest mountain ranges of the planet, the Andes, with heights close to 7,000 m; to the west the Pacific Ocean opens out, and to the south, the Drake sea and Antarctic Ice.
Chile enjoys a diversity not found elsewhere on the planet. It is also this diversity - with the heat of the deserts in the north, and the cold of the glaciers in the south - that makes Chile known as the Land of Fire and Ice! |
