A land of breathtaking natural beauty, Chile stretches 4300 kilometres from north to south making it the world’s longest country. Home to spectacular coastlines and grand views of the Andean mountain range, the world’s driest desert and massive glacial fields, volcanoes, geysers, beaches, lakes, rivers, forests, steppe and countless islands, Chile is an outdoor playground - choose your adventure and it’s no doubt offered here. Once you’re finished exploring, take time to absorb the unique and vibrant culture, the wonderful food and wine, and the warmth and hospitality of incredible Chile.
Easter Island
The world’s most isolated island, Easter Island (originally Rapa Nui) is spellbinding.

More Polynesian than Chilean, this World heritage-listed island is a mix of volcanic landscapes, turquoise waters and colourful local customs, and offers superb scuba-diving, surfing, hiking, horse riding and relaxation on a handful of serene sandy beaches.
