| Country Information |
| Looking
at a map of Chile one cannot but feel a touch of amazement: what an
exceedingly long, narrow strip of land, stretching along the coast of
southern South America. Tucked as it is between the towering Andes
mountains and the endless Pacific Ocean, it would not seem to have much
room for anything.
You'd be amazed, though. Its 4,300km-long, 180km-wide territory harbors some of the finest scenery in the Americas, a bewildering variety of climates -only the humid, hot tropical ones are absent- and landscapes ranging from the world's most arid desert to the rainiest spot on the planet, including a Sahara in the north, a California in the center, an Alpine district in the midsouth and a Norway in the deep south, plus some places that bear no comparison, such as Easter Island, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the Atacama Desert. |
