LATIN AMERICA • CHILE<br />
Discover Chile<br />
Set between the majestic Andes and the<br />
rugged Pacific coast, Chile stretches from<br />
the desolate Atacama Desert in the north<br />
to the granite peaks, glacier fields and<br />
untamed wilderness of Patagonia in the<br />
south. In between these striking extremes,<br />
the country offers snow-capped volcanoes,<br />
crystal-clear lakes, winding fjords, ancient<br />
forests and verdant valleys dotted with<br />
vineyards. As well as this pristine and<br />
spectacular scenery, visitors can encounter<br />
indigenous communities, bustling city<br />
culture in Santiago and Valparaíso, friendly<br />
hosts and delicious fresh seafood. The<br />
remote and volcanic Easter Island in the<br />
middle of the Pacific Ocean bears witness to<br />
a unique and mysterious Rapa Nui legacy.<br />

IMAGE<br />
The cosmopolitan capital of Chile is a buzzing<br />
metropolis set against the spectacular<br />
backdrop of the snow-capped Andes.<br />
Santiago’s historical attractions, including<br />
the elaborately decorated cathedral and<br />
the outstanding Museum of Pre-Columbian<br />
Art, are complemented by leafy parks and<br />
lanes, bustling street cafés and increasingly<br />
sophisticated restaurants that all add to the<br />
city’s vibrancy and charm.<br />
The Atacama Desert<br />
Altiplanic lagoons, salt lakes & geysers •<br />
Adobe villages<br />
Valparaíso<br />
The fertile valleys around Santiago are home<br />
to celebrated wineries, country traditions and<br />
exclusive winery estates. The bohemian former<br />
port of Valparaíso is within easy reach along<br />
the coast. Colourful houses and the cabledrawn<br />
funicular elevators, running along its<br />
steep hills, are reminders of its glorious past.<br />
The Atacama Desert, one of the driest<br />
places on Earth, has truly one of the most<br />
extraordinary landscapes. The small village of<br />
San Pedro de Atacama is the base for exploring<br />
the area. At daybreak, watch El Tatio geysers<br />
spout steam and boiling water high into the<br />
air, feel the salt crack under your feet at the<br />
world’s third-largest salt flat and see pink<br />
flamingos mirrored in intensely blue lagoons.<br />
Purple-shaded volcanoes, ancient petroglyphs<br />
carved in stone, adobe villages, thermal<br />
springs, magnificent sunsets over desolate<br />
sand dunes and clear desert nights all add to<br />
the appeal of this astonishing destination.<br />
