Destinations > CHILE

A country like no other, Chile lays between the heights of the Andean peaks and the lush shores of the Pacific Ocean. It is a long, narrow stretch of land, called "the thin country" by its literary giant, the poet Pablo Neruda, and includes Antarctic lands as well as tropical deserts, at either end of its diverse topography.
Santiago
A booming city, reaching far beyond the boundaries of its central Metro system, Santiago is framed by the stunning Andes mountain range, which includes the highest peaks in the Southern hemisphere.
Valparaíso
A major port city on the Pacific Ocean, also a popular destination for tourists, and a city of broad cultural interest.
Viña del Mar
Known as a resort town, and popular among the all-night party crowd, Viña is also an historic village with a wine-growing reputation.
Isla Negra
The seaside home of Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, Isla Negra sits along a stretch of relatively pristine coastline and offers breathtaking ocean views. See the poet's great collections at the house-museum, on calle Poeta Neruda.
Chiloé
Famed for its unique and colorful wooden constructions, Chiloé is a jewel of southern Chile, a world unto itself, perched on the edge of the Pacific.
San Pedro de Atacama
A colonial outpost in the Atacama desert, San Pedro's church's are worth a visit, and the excursion is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
