Chile

South America

Currency: CLP

Language: Spanish

Chile is 4,300 kilometres long and rarely more than 200 wide, running from the driest desert on earth through a Mediterranean central valley to the fjords and granite towers of Patagonia. That shape means flying between regions. Stargazing in the north and trekking in the south are the two strongest reasons to go.

Cities

Valparaíso

Valparaíso is built on more than forty hills above a working port, with houses in mismatched colours, stairways between streets and Victorian-era funiculars still running. The UNESCO-listed quarter covers Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción. It pairs with the vineyards of the Casablanca valley on the way from Santiago.
