Chile stretches impossibly long and thin down South America’s western edge, offering everything from the Atacama Desert to Antarctic fjords, from Andean mountain passes like Los Caracoles to the mysterious moai of Easter Island. Whether you’re exploring Santiago as a base for driving into the Andes, experiencing wine-tasting cinema-style at Vinolia, or planning practical details like navigating Santiago Airport, these guides cover Chile’s diverse attractions with honest, practical insights.

Beyond the capital, discover six reasons to visit Easter Island that go beyond the iconic stone heads, or explore the colourful hills and unexpected street art history of Valparaíso — a port city where artistic expression tells stories of political resistance and cultural identity. These articles help you navigate Chile’s extremes of geography and climate whilst providing the kind of practical planning information that makes the difference between a good trip and a genuinely memorable one across this long, surprising country that squeezes between the Pacific and the Andes.
