At over 2,500 miles long – roughly half the length of South America and spanning a broad range of climates – Chile is a rich and diverse country. The far north is home to some of the driest places on earth, while the far south is a land of snow and glaciers (and the gateway to Antarctica). With such a range of natural environments, Chile is a prime destination for ecotourism and conservation.
