It is a place that could be kept away from mass tourism and where you can find untouched nature and lonely spots. Let yourself get impressed by the different things that can be done here, the variety of what you can see and the great and friendly people that can be shy at the beginning but honestly are interested in foreigner.
A Chilean Legend said: “In the beginning of time, God created the wonders of the world. When he was finished, he saw that he had many leftover pieces. He had parts of rivers and valleys, of oceans and lakes, of glaciers and deserts, of mountains and forests, and of meadows and hills. Rather than, to let such beauty go to waste, God put them all together and cast them to the most remote corner of the earth. This is how Chile was born.”
This was the birth of the long and narrow country (4300km long/240km wide). Chile can be very proud of being the only country in the world, which offers on the small area of 756,626 square metres all landscaping that can be found on our planet.
There is no other place to see such a versatile picture of the landscape. While landing at the airport of Santiago de Chile, you already will be impressed by the breathtaking nature that is reflected when looking out of the airplane window.
In the north snowcapped volcanoes of the Andes with its hot springs, geysers and lagoons in most intensive colors reach each its hand with the imposing Atacama Desert. Long coastlines with wonderful beaches, islands, green valleys and the capital Santiago alternate with beautiful, distinctive vine regions in the central part of Chile.
In front of the coast, the mystic Easter Island is waiting which presents itself as an open-air museum with an impressive cultural history as well as volcanoes, beaches and the blue water of the Pacific Ocean. Green forests, volcanoes, crystal clear rivers and lakes with an impressive flora and fauna follow in the south.
