Exploring Chile from top to bottom: the Atacama Desert, Santiago, Lake District and Patagonia Chile is a thin country, 4000km long and 190km wide but with an unparalleled range of geographical regions. Northern Chile's Atacama Desert is the most arid in the world, with salt flats and geysers, and a cradle of ancient indigenous cultures. Around Santiago, in central Chile's fertile valleys, is the New World's wine industry and some beautiful colonial coastal towns and beaches. Further south lies the Lake District, with dramatic peaks and snowcapped volcanoes. Finally, in the extreme south, is Patagonia, the 'uttermost part of the earth', a land of lakes, mountains, glaciers and immense solitude.
