The Republic of Chile is a fascinating country that enjoys most of the climate regions of the world and contains some of the best geography. It is narrower than California, and spans a distance of more than 2700 miles, which is roughly the equivalant of Baja to Alaska turned upside down. The western border is the ridge of the Andes mountains which reaches almost 23,000 feet, and provides a full spectrum of mountain adventures.

Traveling Through the Great Atacama Desert

The Atacama is one of the great deserts of the world and spans from Peru through northern Chile. It is a stark region with stunning landscapes and a spectacular coastline. There are many large volcanoes including the gigantic Ojos Del Salado which stands at 22,770 and is the highest volcano in the world. The entire expanse is very sparsely populated, and there are hundreds of remote beaches with cold water and challenging surfing. The public transportation is excellent, and a luxury bus is a great way to experience this empty paradise.

Santiago and the Wine Region

Santiago is an interesting old Spanish City and the entry point for most international flights. There are many tourist amenities and a great metro and bus system, but the air is usually bad, so the surrounding region is much more desirable. The high mountains are less than an hour away and boast three major ski areas, funky village style hostels, and great hiking and climbing. The surrounding valleys are filled with lush orchards, and touring the vineyards is a very popular activity. The great Pacific Ocean is just over an hour away, and the buses to Vina Del Mar are excellent and very frequent.
