• Pros
  • Trekking in a national park, a cultural stay in Santiago or relaxing on the coast, Chile offers a diversity of scenery that allows all sorts of combinations of holidays.
  • It is without doubt the safest country in Latin America.
  • People travelling through it in a car or as an "autotour" package will experience a real "road movie" on the southern motorway taking them to Patagonia.
• Cons
  • Huge distances, particularly when you have to cover them in a bus. Allow for time and a number of nights on this means of transport.
  • Expect sharp changes of climate in the south of the continent.
  • The cost of living. As opposed to its northern neighbours, Bolivia and Peru, Chile is quite an expensive country.
