Chile’s length, when compared with Europe, easily
exceeds the distance from Norway’s northern tip to the Sahara Desert.
Spanning 4,329 km and 39 degrees of latitude --- over 10% of the earth’s

In the north, lies the Atacama Desert, the most arid place in the world.
The central region enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with beautiful
beaches, the metropolis of Santiago and an idyllic countryside of vineyards,
farms, primeval forests and enchanting lakes. Offshore, the volcanic
Chilean islands of Robinson Crusoe and Easter Island present subtropical
climates. |

To the south, the fjords and glaciers of Patagonia
precede the stormy steppes of Tierra del Fuego and the frozen continent,
Antarctica. Chile is a genuine land of extremes; an impressive, natural land;
a land of exploration, mysteries, untamed wilderness, solitude and high adventure. |

Chile is, without question, awe-inspiring and unforgettable. |
