Chile stretches along South America’s western edge for more than 3,500 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline.

Its capital, Santiago, rests in a valley surrounded by the Andes and Chilean Coast Range mountains and offers a jumping off point for Chile’s northern region of Atacama Desert, as well as its southern half, Torres del Paine National Park and Chiloé Island.

Chile truly has it all; incredibly diverse landscapes, world-renowned cuisine and captivating culture full of art and history.

The country is the perfect destination for delicious wine, beer and pisco, along with local and seasonal fare, particularly seafood.

And though I wasn’t able to witness, both Easter Island and Valparaíso offer something special with their iconic Moai statues and vibrant port city vibes.
