It is not surprising that Chile is known as the 'Land of Contrasts'. For this slender country is made up of almost 3,000 miles of coastline, with the world's most arid desert in the north, the Atacama, and the Antarctic Circle in the south. Between this you will experience rich native forests, lush valleys, snow capped mountains, pristine blue lakes and glacier fields offering the perfect playground paradise for activities in natural surroundings. Take your pick from a round of golf on the lake shore, a spot of fly fishing, horseback riding around some of the charming colonial towns or trekking in the many stunning National Parks.
Or on the more chilled side, why not indulge in some fine Chilean wine tasting, or just relax in the region's hot springs and spas, whilst you soak up the breathtaking Andean scenery around you. Most importantly, 2,000 miles west of the mainland will unveil one of Chile's most remote gems. Here, you will be greeted by a line of symbolic monolithic statues which unveil the emergence of the mystical and remote Easter Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with history and archaeological sites, along with volcanoes and turquoise waters.
