Chile The Jewel of The South

Chile stretches over 4,300 km along the southwestern coast of South America, distance roughly the same as that from San Francisco to New York, or Edinburgh to Baghdad. At the same time, its width never exceeds 240 km, making the country more than eighteen times longer than its widest point.  http://bit.ly/vUAEPp
The amount of beautiful landscapes that Chile contains is endless and has always been a great country for tourism and sight seeing. The most common landscape known in Chile is the Andes Mountains                                                                                                                            The Andes is located along the western coast of South America, with a mountain range that is part of seven countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.




70 million years ago the collision of tectonic plates formed the Andes, the scale of the Andes is extraordinary, some 4,500 miles in length. The border between Chile and Argentina is quite defined and stretches out for 2,000 miles.


The Andes is made of thick rain forests, the driest desert in the world, high defying snowcapped peaks, ancient ruins, gorgeous lakes, luxury spas, ski resorts and even threatening volcanoes, - all in one long mountain range. The famous mountain range pretty much defines Chile in numerous aspects: geographical, ethnical, cultural and, of course, touristic.
