Explore Chile’s spectacular geography and scenery, including its harsh deserts, fertile valleys, breath-taking icefields and towering peaks.
A narrow strip of land between the high Andes and the Pacific Ocean, Chile stretches an incredible 4,300 km from north to south. Chilean society is a mix of indigenous peoples and European settlers, mainly of Spanish heritage.
Visit beautiful cities like Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, explore the remarkable high altitude Atacama Desert from the quaint village of San Pedro, or relax in the idyllic scenery of the Lake District. Southern Patagonia offers amazing wilderness, from the dramatic granite peaks of the Torres del Paine to the icefields of the deep south, best visited by cruise ship. And let’s not forget Easter Island with its mysterious statues, 3,000 km off the coast but still administratively, a part of Chile.

Chile Overview
Why Chile: When it comes to awesome scenery and untouched wilderness, Chile is hard to beat. From dry deserts to lush forests, gentle lakes and glimmering icefields, this country has it all.
Culture: Chile’s rich, diverse culture is influenced as much by its indigenous and European peoples, as the varied landscape. Art, literature, folk music, dance and festivals are all central to Chilean society.
When to Go: Chile’s climate varies with latitude. The Atacama is dry and sunny, hot in summer and cold at night in winter. Central Chile has a pleasing Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and wet, mild winters. Southern Patagonia receives plenty or rain, with cool, windy summers and cold winters.
Combine With: Neighbouring Argentina, particularly when visiting the Patagonia region. Chile also combines well with Peru, where you can visit Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu or experience the Amazon rainforest at a secluded eco-lodge.
Getting There: Qantas and LAN fly from Australia via New Zealand to Santiago.
