Why Visit Chile?

Chile is a beautiful and diverse country, with a long coastline framed by desert, mountains and forest. The capital city, Santiago de Chile, is situated at the foot of the Andes Mountain range, their snowy peaks visible in the distance.

Nearer the coast, is the colourful town of Valparaiso with the dramatic Atacama desert to the north of the country. To the south, is the land of forest, fjords and volcanoes – a perfect place for hiking and marvelling at breathtaking scenery.

Chile is a country of stunning contrasts, stretching from the Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, to the glacier-carved fjords of Patagonia. Its landscapes range from volcanic peaks and emerald lakes to thriving cities like Santiago and the artistic coastal town of Valparaíso. Chile’s diverse geography offers endless adventures—hiking in Torres del Paine National Park, stargazing in the Atacama, or exploring the mysterious Moai statues of Easter Island. Beyond its natural beauty, Chile boasts a rich cultural heritage, blending indigenous traditions with Spanish influences. The country’s wine regions, particularly in the Central Valley, produce world-class vintages, while the Lake District offers a serene escape surrounded by towering mountains.
