Explore Santiago
Chile’s capital has experienced major growth over the past few decades and today is one of South America’s most modern cities. The city has many high-rise buildings and reliable transportation infrastructure, making it easy for tourists to explore. Points of interest include religious and historic buildings, as well as Santa Lucía Hill, where Spanish explorers held a ceremony marking the founding of Santiago in 1541.
Explore Viña del Mar
With one of the longest coastlines in the world, Chile has thousands of miles of beaches along the Pacific Ocean. One of its best-known beach cities is Viña del Mar, located less than two hours from Santiago. The city has plenty of sandy beaches, casinos, great restaurants, and excellent nightlife.
Explore Patagonia
Situated in southern Chilean Patagonia, Torres del Paine has some of the most amazing scenery in South America. The park is surrounded by dramatic towering peaks, turquoise rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. A popular multi-day circuit takes hikers through much of the park and is one of the best ways to experience the area. Guanacos and other unique species also live throughout this sub-Antarctic landscape.
