Destination guide
Atacama deserts, Patagonian peaks, and Pacific vineyards along a 4,000km ribbon.
Chile stretches from the driest desert on Earth to the glaciers of Patagonia, with wine country and colorful Valparaíso in between. It's the go-to for Torres del Paine trekking and stargazing in San Pedro de Atacama.
