Travel Guide to Chile
As the longest, thinnest country in the world, Chile stretches all the way from the borders with Bolivia and Peru in the north, 4,500ks to Tierra del Fuego in the south, and yet at its widest point it, in the Atacama Desert, is only 400ks across. Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the towering Andes, this fascinating Latin American country is home to the world’s driest desert, arguably the continent’s most stunning national park, an impressive wine region and, on Chiloe Island, the home of the potato! An economically sound country that is fast become a first world nation, Chile has a huge amount to offer the modern traveller.
Unless coming in overland, most trips to Chile will start here in the nation’s capital, Santiago.
Although most guidebooks will tell you Santiago is not as exciting at Rio or as elegant and enchanting as Buenos Aires, and should be used only as a gateway to the rest of the country, I feel it is an interesting place to explore for a day or two. Like many large Latin American cities it suffers somewhat from schizophrenic urban design where the city’s impressive colonial past is often dwarfed and obscured by its more ugly modern present; tenement towers and, since its rise as a regional economic powerhouse – Chile has the highest GDP per capita in South America – glass fronted office blocks. But there are still some great sites to check out including the Plaza de Armas, the Palacio Modera, the city’s main museum, and the Mercado Central, where you can enjoy a delicious seafood lunch, beneath a roof that was actually made in Birmingham! Santiago also has some lovely hotels and is famous for its excellent dining.
But Santiago is unlikely to form the main reason for your visit to Chile, that is much more likely to lie either in the far north, in the Atacama region or in the far south in Patagonia.
From Santiago, and starting in the very south of the country in Chilean Patagonia, is Puerto Aranas, entry point for what is arguably the continents most impressive national park, Torres del Paine. Deriving its name from the bull-like horns of the park’s most impressive mountain, Torres del Paine covers a quarter of a million hectares, is home to some spectacular and varied accommodation, and is a great place to hike, horse ride or just enjoy the scenery.
ADD PLENTY OF SHOTS HERE
Moving north, we come to the beautiful Lake District around the towns of Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas. Here, up the Puelo River valley, you can do some wonderful horse riding as well as walking and kayaking. A short distance off the coast you also have Chiloe Island, which along with stunning coastal walks is also famous for being home of the potato. And further still off the coast, in fact more than 2,000 miles into the Pacific Ocean, is the extraordinary Easter Island… a land shrouded in mystery with its dramatic stone head carvings, Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited islands on the planet.
Heading further north other notable places are the beautiful coastal towns of La Serena and Valparaiso – just a stone’s throw from the capital Santiago – and the wine district of Coquimbo where some of the country’s leading wines are manufacture
And here in the far north of the country, lies the truly extraordinary Atacama Desert. Bordering Bolivia, Peru and Argentina, is a region that’s renowned as being the driest place on earth.
Sitting in the rain shadow of both the Andes and the Chilean Coastal Range, the Atacama Desert is renowned as being the driest place on earth. It is also the region that has been driest for longest, with some suggesting a continuous arid area here dating back at least three million years. Some of the soil has no life at all, a situation NASA has exploited to test instruments for Mars missions. And, due to its otherworldly landscapes, it has been used as a location on numerous space films including Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets.
Forming the northern chain of Chile’s ‘Ring of Fire’ the region is framed by a spectacular girdle of volcanoes and plethora of fascinating geographical phenomenon.
A country fast emerging as a first world nation, Chile offers today’s traveller a safe location with some great accommodation, fine dining and world-class wines. But first and foremost she offers some of the most varied and impressive landscapes anywhere on earth.

Eat in Patagonia trip
======================
In Patagonia, there are plenty of unique and delicious things to eat. As in all of Argentina, beef is important, but particular to the area is the cordero, lamb, which is of a very unique flavor (supposedly because the Patagonian lamb eats a unique mixture of herbs found only in Patagonia) especially when grilled in the typical parrilla (grill).
Dulce de leche, similar to caramel and made by adding sugar to milk and cooking it, is used on nearly all desserts, including facturas (pastries eaten for breakfast or tea, or to accompany mate, filled with dulce de leche, dulce de membrillo, crema pastelera, roquefort, or many other things), alfajores (traditional cookies that consist of tiny biscuits stuck together), and many other Argentine desserts.

동화 속 작은 마을을 닮은 곳! 세상 끝 마을, 푸에르토 윌리암스다. 이곳은 칠레가 1953년에 만든 군사도시다. 2천여 명의 군인과 주로 그 가족들이 사는, 지구 최남단 마을이다. 먼저 이 섬의 역사와 문화가 담긴 박물관을 찾았다. 20여 미터가 넘는 고래 뼈가 눈길을 끈다. 아마도 이 지역에 사는 혹등 고래는 아닐까? 안으로 들어서자, 반기는 사진 속 얼굴들! 우리 이웃 같은 이들은 원래 이 땅의 주인이었던 야간족이다. 비글해협을 중심으로 오랜 세월을 살아온 이들은, 자신들만의 언어를 사용하며, 거친 환경을 슬기롭게 극복해 온 사람들이었다. 16세기부터 이어진 유럽제국의 침탈 때문에, 이제는 그들을 박물관에서나 만날 수 있다.

Get this drone LUT ►
In this video about Chile you can see the central part of Chile which includes the capital of Chile, Santiago, second largest city Valparaiso, Valle Nevado Ski Resort in Chilean Andes, smaller beach towns Vina Del Mar and Concon where you can see thousands of seals.
Tourism in Chile has experienced sustained growth over the last few decades. Most of tourists come from other countries in the American continent, mainly Argentina; followed by a growing number from the United States, Europe, and Brazil with a growing number of Asians from South Korea and China. The main attractions for tourists are places of natural beauty situated in the extreme zones of the country: San Pedro de Atacama, in the north, is very popular with foreign tourists who arrive to admire the Incaic architecture, the altiplano lakes, and the Valley of the Moon. Throughout the central Andes there are many ski resorts of international repute, including Portillo, Valle Nevado and Termas de Chillán. The main tourist sites in the south are national parks (the most popular is Conguillío National Park in the Araucanía) and the coastal area around Tirúa and Cañete with the Isla Mocha and the Nahuelbuta National Park, Chiloé Archipelago and Patagonia, which includes Laguna San Rafael National Park, with its many glaciers, and the Torres del Paine National Park. The central port city of Valparaíso, which is World Heritage with its unique architecture, is also popular. Finally, Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean is one of the main Chilean tourist destinations. For locals, tourism is concentrated mostly in the summer and mainly in the coastal beach towns. Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta, La Serena and Coquimbo are the main summer centers in the north, and Pucón on the shores of Lake Villarrica is the main center in the south. Because of its proximity to Santiago, the coast of the Valparaíso Region, with its many beach resorts, receives the largest number of tourists. Viña del Mar, Valparaíso's northern affluent neighbor, is popular because of its beaches, casino, and its annual song festival, the most important musical event in Latin America. Pichilemu in the O'Higgins Region is widely known as South America's best surfing spot. Chile is home to the world renowned Patagonian Trail that resides on the border between Argentina and Chile.

Cap Horn, Chile , South America Ultra 4K
Version en français en bas
Cape Horn (Spanish: Cabo de Hornos) is a cape located at the southern tip of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, in its Chilean part. This point is generally considered to be the southernmost of South America.
Cape Horn is also the most southerly of the great capes, and marks the northern border of the Drake Passage. For many years, it has been a crucial crossing point for trade routes between Europe and Asia. They were used by ships to transport goods all around the globe, although the ocean waters around the cape present many dangers: strong and frequent storms with a very large sea, circumpolar Antarctic current and possible presence of icebergs rogue waves.
These dangers and the extreme difficulty of its crossing have given Cape Horn its legendary character, but also the reputation of being a marine cemetery. It is sometimes called the hard cap, the dreaded cap or the storm cape.
Le cap Horn (en espagnol : cabo de Hornos) est un cap situé à l’extrémité sud de l’archipel de la Terre de Feu, dans sa partie chilienne. Ce point est généralement considéré comme étant le plus austral de l’Amérique du Sud.
Le cap Horn est également le plus au sud des grands caps, et il marque la frontière nord du passage de Drake. Pendant de nombreuses années, il a été un point de passage crucial des routes commerciales entre l’Europe et l’Asie. Elles étaient empruntées par les voiliers pour transporter les marchandises tout autour du globe, et ce bien que les eaux océaniques autour du cap présentent de nombreux dangers : tempêtes fortes et fréquentes avec une mer très grosse, courant circumpolaire antarctique et présence possible d’icebergs voire des vagues scélérates.
Ces dangers et l’extrême difficulté de son franchissement ont donné au cap Horn son caractère légendaire, mais aussi la réputation d’être un cimetière marin. Il est parfois surnommé le « cap dur », le « cap redouté » ou le « cap des tempêtes ».
