Few countries, in Latin America or elsewhere, can match
the geographic diversity of Chile. With an average width of only 110 miles,
Chile stretches 2,700 miles along the southwest coast of South America,
encompassing barren desert, beaches, volcanoes, towering snowcapped Andean
peaks, picturesque vineyards, ancient forests, glaciers, and a wind-swept
archipelago. Chile claims a wedge-shaped slice of Antarctica and controls
Easter Island, 2,300 miles off the Chilean coast in the middle of the South
Pacific. Chile is a country with much to offer the expatriate. Whether one
prefers the splendors of the numerous national parks and reserves, or
prefers wine tours and season tickets to the splendid Teatro Municipal,
there is something for everyone. |
