Chile is a country of startling contrasts and extreme beauty the attractions of its territory range from the towering volcanic peaks of the Andes to the ancient forests of the Lake District.
Chile has a unique geography, as it is compressed between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. It is, however, amazingly “long” as it stretches over 4,300 km (2,700 mi) along the south-western coast of South America and at the same time, its width never exceeds 240 km (150 mi).
This makes Chile more than eighteen times longer than at its widest point. And it is through this territory where you can find the justly famous Atacama Desert and the peaks of Torres del Paine, which is considered by many to be one of the finest nature travel destinations in all of South America. On the other hand, Chile has laid out with a large number of national parks, easily accessible, and with great opportunities for nature lovers.
