Chile (South America)

The Atacama may be the driest desert in the world but it is rich in landscapes, unique formations and an unparalleled sense of mystery.

National parks filled with a diverse range of wildlife as well as geyser fields, salt flats, canyons, geological formations, Inca ruins, adobe houses and archaeological museums are just some of the attractions to be found here.

The capital of Chile is a city of contrasts ranging from the traditional old world to the civic and commercial district of a modern city. Santiago is a cosmopolitan city, is clean and secure and is only one hour from the Pacific Ocean and the ski fields.

Valle Nevado is Chile's premier ski resort. It is located only 60 km from Santiago, giving international travellers easy access to some of the finest skiing in the World.
