Travel to Chile Chile
is situated in South America, surrounded by Peru, Bolivia,
Argentina, the Antarctic and the Pacific Ocean. Home
of the Andes mountain range, it is a thin strip of land,
4,200 km (2,610 miles) long and nowhere more than 180
km (115 miles) wide. The Araucarian Indians were the
original inhabitants of Chile. The Spanish conquered
the country in the 16th century and ruled until the
country's independence in 1818.
If you need travel agency information like airline help for travel to other parts of Chile or want to book a cruise, you can get that help in Santiago.
If you would like to do outdoor activities you could get a hold of a tour company and they can take you hiking in the mountains, skiing in season (June - September) or go to the ocean and enjoy the beach (summer is December - February).
Chile has the honour of being the thinnest country in the world if you compare its length with its width. The country is so long that in the north you will find the driest of deserts and in the south you are on the closest point to the South Pole.
Parts of the Atacama desert in the North have reportedly not seen rain (at least not since 1870 when a weather station was put there) while other parts enjoy the "desierto florido" or "flowering desert." For the mystery check out the site about the Atacama desert.
San Pedro de Atacama is a very small, picturesque town about an hour out of Calama. It is the base town to explore the Valley of Moon and the Tatio geysers and the beautiful scenery in the area.
In the city of Calama, you can visit the largest open pit copper mine in the world at the city of Chuquicamata. They offer an interesting , and
you will learn a little about the history of copper mining in Chile. Further north, near the Peruvian border, you will find the city of Arica .
Due to its unusual geography, Chile has an immensely
diverse climate ranging from the world's driest desert
in the north, through a Mediterranean climate in the
centre, to a snow-prone Alpine climate in the south.
Travelers will enjoy the country's plentiful fauna and
flora and magnificent scenery consisting of huge glaciers,
fjords, waterfalls, blue lakes and abundant national
parks where trekking is a very popular activity amongst
tourists.
