Chile is quickly being discovered as one of the most beautiful, interesting and sophisticated countries in South America. The 2,400-mile long country is tucked in between the Pacific Ocean and the Majestic Andes mountain range. Chile offers a fascinating variety of landscapes – wide and lonely beaches, a fertile central valley with highly touted wineries, the Atacama Desert in the north, and the pristine wilderness of the south with its volcanoes, lakes and forest. Santiago is not only the political capital but also the economic and cultural capital. Surrounded in all four directions by peaks rivalling the Swiss Alps, it has a charm unmatched in Latin America. Within a day's travel of Santiago you can visit Chile's best ski-resorts near Mount Aconcagua (the highest mountain in the Americas) the vineyards, the beach and the picturesque harbour city of Valparaiso.
