This southern cone country is a must-visit destination. Chile is vast - it's the longest in the world - and has 45 nature reserves with a wide range of ecosystems, from lush forests to glacial tundras.
March is an excellent time to go to Chile because prices are very low, particularly in areas such as the Lake District and Patagonia, both in the south of the country. In that part of the world in March it's not spring but autumn, so the weather is also mild, with summer just leaving but without the masses of travellers that arrive in high season.
