Chile
Otherworldly deserts, dramatic volcanoes, ruggedly beautiful Patagonia and the mystical Easter Island: it's time to discover Chile.
Intro
Stretching down half the length of South America in between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, Chile is the longest country on the continent with some of its most diverse landscapes. From the world's highest and driest desert in the north to the largest glacial field outside the poles in the south, experience nature on a truly colossal scale.
Â
Step outside the modern esplanades of Santiago and journey into the rugged landscape of windswept Patagonia, where magnificent snow-capped peaks loom in Torres del Paine National Park, huge Andean condors soar and the elusive puma hides. Marvel at the picture-perfect scenery of the lush lake district, where conical volcanoes soar above untouched evergreen forests and the tranquil surface of turquoise lakes. Enter an extraterrestrial world as you explore the lunar-like landscapes of the Atacama Desert, home to some of the world's best stargazing. Get truly off-the-beaten-track as you travel along the Austral Highway, sometimes not seeing another soul for hours, and ponder the mysteries of the ancient Polynesian culture on volcanic Easter Island. Finally, sit back and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Chilean people while sampling Chile's world-famous wines. Whatever your tastes, a journey through Chile is nothing short of breathtaking. Â
Chilean Patagonia
Lying at the southern tip of South America, Chilean Patagonia's dramatic, rugged landscape is truly epic. A far cry from the arid Atacama Desert, this is a region where it's common to experience four seasons in one day. Chilean Patagonia offers infinite opportunities for outdoor adventure, with striking volcanic scenery, dense ancient forests and rushing glacial rivers of northern Patagonia making way for the majestic mountain scenery of Torres del Paine National Park. Step off the beaten track along the vast Carretera Austral and experience nature at its most potent as you discover hidden waterfalls and glacial streams within the untouched Parque PumalĂn.
