Chile is a long, thin South American country. It is a land of baffling diversity. The scenery changes dramatically throughout the country. Be it lush green hills of the Lake District, the driest desert in the world- Atacama, salt pans, geysers, fjords, archipelagos or glaciers, they will all leave you overwhelmed by awe and amazement. Mountain biking, hiking up a volcano, cruising around the southern tip of South America, surfing or sightseeing - activities are abundant in Chile.
The Chilean currency is the Peso. US Dollars are acceptable at some hotels and by some tour operators. Spanish is the official language of Chile and spoken by almost everyone there. Chile has many different climatic regions, so the best time to visit varies accordingly.
