Chile stretches like a thin noodle down the South American continent with the wild Pacific crashing to the west and the snow-capped Andes forming a jagged backbone to the east. This long extension of latitudes is responsible for the country’s thrillingly diverse range of cuisine, wine, and landscapes to explore.
In the north, Chile has the driest desert in the world with desolate moonscapes, starry night skies, and pink flamingo-filled lagoons. In the Mediterranean heartland, it’s a California kind of vibe with the capital surrounded by famous wine appellations producing outstanding wines from cooler coastal varieties to robust reds inland.
The southern lake district is awe-inspiring with its cold rainforests, volcano-strewn azure lakes, and devotion to Germanic-style cheese, artisan beer, and the spicy merken. Blustery Patagonia, an epic must-live-it-to-believe-it destination is where massive glacial fields meet the serrated peaks of the Torres del Paine. Chile has so much beauty your soul wants to burst. It’s the ideal destination to rekindle your love for South America, post-pandemic.
Chile is perfect if you:
–Love to “jump” seasons like escaping winter to summer; or swap a swampy summer for temperate winter.
–Are a wine lover and want to combine a foodie itinerary with far-flung natural destinations.
–Love small, sleek lodges with exquisite design and service
–Have Patagonia or Easter Island on your travel shortlist
–Want to gaze into the universe and get into the altiplano in the high desert of San Pedro de Atacama
