Explore itineraryChile
Chile is an unusual shape: very long (4,300 Km) and very thin (less than 180 Km wide). The north is a hot, dry desert called the Atacama, one of the driest places on earth. By complete contrast the south tip, Tierra del Fuego, is the southern-most point on mainland planet earth.The 42nd parallel (Line of Latitude) runs through Chile and Argentina and marks the boundary of Patagonia. This is an area of stunning beauty: deep fjords, snow-capped peaks and dormant volcanos; an area waiting to be explored on foot, self-drive and best of all, on horseback.
