Chile
Chile, the long, narrow country on the Pacific coast of South America, combines almost all climate zones and offers enormous scenic contrasts. Visitors are greeted by endless deserts as well as fire-breathing volcanoes. Vineyards and dream beaches. Primeval forests and even glaciers. In addition, the hospitable but by no means intrusive Chileans enrich every trip to what is still the safest travel destination in South America. 40% of the country's population live in the self-confident metropolis of Santiago. The main streets in the city center, such as La Moneda and the Plaza de Armas, as well as the Cerro Santa Lucia are definitely worth a visit. You can also enjoy an evening stroll through the artists' quarter "Lastarria" with its bars and galleries.
