Chile

A long and narrow nation, Chile offers a wealth of attractions between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

Chilean delights include the ‘Lake District’, a bejeweled border region of lakes, fast-flowing rivers, volcanoes and mountains; the stunning Moreno Glacier; and the majestic Parque Nacional Torres Del Paine in Chilean Patagonia.

Many travelers arrive in the misty and fast-paced capital Santiago but quickly move on to the countryside, coast or mountains. And, if you really want an impressive travel tale, fly out to remote tiny Easter Island (a Chilean territory), famous for its brooding Moai – stone heads.

It’s a good idea to learn a little Spanish before traveling to Chile or to carry a phrasebook as Spanish is the only language for locals.
