Chile
A long, thin, sliver of a country along the Pacific coast of South America, flanking Argentina to the east, Chile is a land of contrasts, close to the South Pole at its southern extremity and the world’s driest desert sweeping across its northern reaches. A holiday in Chile is not confined to the mainland; themore country’s dependent islands, including the mysterious Easter Island, are as appealing for tourists as are features like the plains of Nazca with their strange lines.
