A Chilean legend maintains that after God had created the
wonders of the world he had many pieces leftover. He had raging
rivers, sprawling glaciers, valleys and soaring mountains,
snow-capped volcanoes, sparkling lakes, beautiful forests and
deserts, icy fjords and sandy beaches. Rather than let all this
beauty go to waste, he put them together in a remote part of the
world, and so Chile was born.Shaped like a long narrow strip and making up the western part
of South America's tail, it is 2,610 miles (4,200km) in length and
at most 115 miles (180km) wide. Travellers are drawn to this
country because of its multitude of natural attractions, from the
northern desert to the Lake District, and the mountains and fjords
of Patagonia in the south. It has some superb National Parks,
including Easter Island famous for its mysterious giant statues,
and numerous activities for outdoor enthusiasts.Chile's European heritage is evident throughout the country and
travellers here are likely to feel more familiar with its culture
than those of the neighbouring countries, with their strongly
indigenous lifestyles. There are still local traditions persisting
in parts of Chile however, and together with the European influence
this makes for an interesting juxtaposition, providing a
distinctive culture. The people are resilient, cordial and warm,
from the fashionable capital city of Santiago to the isolated
island of Chiloé, and Chilean hospitality is renowned.Besides natural beauty and an interesting blend of cultures,
Chile offers the visitor excellent wines and seafood, unique
handicrafts and shopping, and a variety of characteristic
architecture, making it a beautiful and memorable place to
visit.
