The land of Pablo
Neruda and Isabel Allende, Chile is an earthy and heady experience – nature and
adventure rolled into one. There is so much packed into this "chilli" shaped
country - the urban boulevards and the bustle of Santiago, the Andean foothills and the
Atacama Desert, the Pacific coastline and the National Parks, the guanaco and the
glaciers.
The Europeans have populated this country with vigour but the warm and resilient people of
Chile have stuck to their traditions, especially in the Andean foothills. Enjoy a trek and
go spotting the amazing guanaco in its National Parks, indulge in the bright blue of the
Pacific, the intense brown of the Andes and the Atacama and the pearly whites of the
glaciers in Southern Chile.
