Chile

Wellness devotees can soak in hot springs scattered throughout the Chilean wilderness, in such varied places as the Atacama Desert and the lush Valdivian rainforest. Stargazers may delight in some of the planet’s clearest skies both in the desert and in magical Elqui Valley. 

Whale watchers can pick from hotspots all along the coastline, both in the north and in the southernmost fjord land of the country.

Chilean wine country is a treat both for wine lovers and for cyclists as it’s the perfect terrain to explore on two wheels. Adventure sports enthusiasts have a whole country full of mountains to climb and myriad lakes and rivers to practice rafting, kayaking and fly-fishing. Torres del Paine offers close-up encounters with the flora and fauna of the end of the world, puma photo safaris, and horseback riding across the seemingly never-ending Patagonian steppe.

And last, but certainly not least, we have Easter Island and Antarctica, which may not be part of the main continental territory but hold some of the most impressive charms of their own. Discover charismatic cultural traditions as well as prime scuba diving waters off Easter Island and some of the most otherworldly landscapes and pristine ecosystems of the planet in Antarctica.
