Chile at a Glance

Glaciers, sea-shore, volcanoes and epic mountains lure visitors to Chile and might just make them be back time and time again. 

Chile's far southern tip is buffeted by the moist Humboldt Current. Go bird watching here at the end of the earth and hike the open parts of Parque Nacional Tierra Del Fuego. This forested and coastal region has a few areas open to people, but the rest are wild areas for animals and can't be accessed. 

Further north, constant winds shape the rocks, snow and mountains and the trekking is glorious. Travel high up and away from human civilization. Cross glaciers and watch for rabbits, martins and birds of prey. Listen to the rattle of the wind and pause for stellar pictures.

Parts of Chile can be quite warm. Paddle or sail up and down the long coastline. Enjoy a cooling dip on a muggy summer day. Explore the coast and enjoy the hospitality, nightlife and culture in Santiago or elsewhere. Walk deep into a temperate forest and explore untouched land. Wait until winter to travel and you'll have skiing in the middle of July.
