CHILE WITH THE LEGACY UNTOLD

From the world’s driest desert in the north, to massive glaciers in the south, Chile is a land of dramatically beautiful contrasts and unforgettable experiences. Adventurers, nature lovers and luxury seekers will all find lots to love here.

The southernmost country in the world, Chile, stretches some 2,670 miles from north to south. The nation’s tremendously diverse geography and climates make it an exceptionally exciting place to explore. You won’t truly know Chile, in fact, until you’ve visited more than one region, since each offers its own unique pleasures.

In Chile, you can enjoy activities that most people only dream about, whether it’s sailing past magnificent glaciers, hiking through verdant Patagonian forests, admiring the mysterious statues of Easter Island or star gazing in the Atacama Desert, where the terrain is so otherworldly that NASA has used the region as a testing ground as it mimic the terrain Mars.

Chile is also a rewarding place to relax and indulge. You can sample sophisticated cuisine, culture and accommodations in the capital city of Santiago, the nation’s main international gateway, or sip some of the world’s most legendary varietals in the famous wine regions of Aconcagua, Maipo, and Casablanca. You also won’t want to miss a visit to the picturesque Andes mountains region, where you can go fly fishing in the lake district, go river rafting in Pucón and take on abundant adventures like hiking, climbing and skiing — all against a magnificent Andes backdrop.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP

WHEN TO GO

Chile’s climate varies, from the deserts in the north to the polar region in the south, so the best time to visit varies by region. It’s warm in the summer between January and March and colder in the winter between July and September. The peak season for Patagonia is between January and March, while the central region and Atacama Desert have pleasant weather year round. Winter (June – August) is naturally the best time for skiers looking to try out Chile’s awesome ski slopes.

GETTING THERE

Santiago is the gateway to Chile for most international travelers and there are nonstop flights from NYC, LA and Miami. Trips to Chile that include Patagonia, the Lake region, and the Atacama Desert will involve multiple flights. Chile is one of the jumping off points for trips to Antarctica.
