Cheap holidays in Chile

Chile (Santiago - 292257  sq.mi - 15665216 hab.)

This huge territory is around 2,600 miles long, and even more than 3,700 miles if you also include the Antarctic part 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!
