    This huge territory is around 2,600 miles long, and even more than 3,700 miles if you also include the Antarctic areas claimed by Chile. On the other hand, it is only 110 miles wide between the Andes Cordillera and the Pacific Ocean. This is a remarkable geographical configuration that is unique in the world! As a consequence, there is a multitude of very contrasting landscapes from the north to the far south: from the Atacama Desert, the most arid on the planet, to the famous Cape Horn through the central valley holding the capital, Santiago, and the colonial town of Valparaiso. Add Tierra del Fuego and the many fjords, volcanoes and lakes to that, and you have a thousand reasons for leaving to discover this country! To discover one of the more unknown parts of Chile, visit Isla Robinson Cruscoe - a small island 13 miles long and 4 miles wide - which hosts plants and animal species native to the island, including the Juan Fernandez fur seal. The island was made a National Park in 1935 and today visitors can explore either alone or with a guide to discover the wealth of endemic flora species. Booking return flights from Santiago to Isla Robinson will usually set you back around 300 dollars but the fact that the island is still relatively unknown to travellers means you really will experience tranquility hard to find elsewhere in Chile.

Discover the Destination

Chile is one long strip of land which lines the Pacific Ocean for over two and a half miles. Chile shares borders with Peru in the North and with Bolivia and Argentina to the east and the south. A country of contrasts, its extremities are rich with diversity in its climate, landscape, traditions and peoples. Patagonia in the south and the Atacama Desert in the north are separated by the dramatic Andes. Chile however doesn't stop here - Easter Island also forms part of the country; the small island attracts visitors' curiosity from all four corners of the world but very few tourists actually visit its 2000 mile coastline. Like its South American neighbours, Chile plays host to hundreds of annual festivals celebrated by locals and tourists alike. Music and dance form a large part of these celebrations - which the local people are very proud of.

    Special Report Chile

    Extreme Cruise in Tierra del Fuego

    The great Chilean South echoes with the names of sailing adventures. Patagonia, Magellan, Beagle, Cap Horn, words that irresistibly attract. Here, more than 1,550 miles south of Santiago, the wind and the sea rule over a succession of fjords and islands dug by ancient glaciers and beaten by the furies ...
