Introduction: Bienvenidos
Over the past half century, it is mainly politics that have kept Chile in the international headlines, but it is, above all, the countrys spectacular scenery that appeals to visitors.
Squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific, this spaghetti-like strip of land was affectionately tagged the thin country by Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. It is never more than 355km (221 miles) wide, and its coastline extends over 4,300km (2,700 miles). Within its borders are the worlds driest desert, lush expanses of forest, and a spectacular array of glaciers and fjords. And, stretched directly along the Pacific ring of fire, Chile has over 2,000 volcanoes, of which around 60 have erupted in the last 500 years.
Chileans are predominantly mestizos the descendants of mainly Spanish immigrants and indigenous peoples although there are pockets of pure-blooded Mapuches, as well as direct descendants of British, German, Swiss, and other immigrants. The traditional hospitality of Chileans, noted by travelers since the 18th century, is even more evident today. They have welcomed the influx of foreigners who come to enjoy the countrys invigorating Andean atmosphere as a sign of the international integration that has been key in driving its rapid economic development.

Santiago, a modern city with gleaming office tower blocks and high-speed freeways, is the center of activity and the countrys transport hub. But, after a few days visiting its main sights and enjoying its pavement cafs and excellent restaurants, most travelers head either north into the Atacama Desert and the oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama, or south to the tranquil Lake Region or the spectacle of the Torres del Paine National Park, or across the Pacific Ocean to Easter Island, also part of Chile, with its mysterious moai . And, in all these places, Chiles vast open and uncrowded spaces offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities that range from trekking and horseback riding to diving and rafting.

Chiles Top 10 Attractions
Top Attraction 1
Atacama Desert. It may be the driest place on earth, but the Atacama Desert is rich in natural and geological treats as well as indigenous history. Dont miss the El Tatio geysers and their stunning display of geothermal energy as they thrust columns of steam into the cold morning air. For more information,

Top Attraction 2
Valparasos ascensores. These funiculars may look rickety but are, in fact, quite safe and afford spectacular views of the bay. One of the most curious is the Ascensor Polanco, which rises vertically through the heart of the hill up to a suspended walkway. For more information,

Top Attraction 3
Torres del Paine. The undisputed queen of Chiles national parks lies at the southern tip of the Andes mountain chain. It can only be visited comfortably in the southern hemisphere summer (DecMar), but it offers exhilarating walks amid scenery of unparalleled beauty. For more information,
