South AmericaSouth America
A continent of extreme landscapes, fascinating wildlife, colourful history and intriguing cultures, South America exudes a sense of mystery and wonder. Home to the world's highest waterfall, largest river, tallest mountain range, driest desert and largest rainforest, the scenery is jaw-dropping. Past civilisations have left their mark, particularly at Machu Picchu, while the modern cities retain architectural wonders and cultures from the past.
Chile
The world's longest country occupies a narrow coastal strip between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. Chile is a country of contrasts and natural beauty, from the towering volcanic peaks of the Andes to the ancient forests of the Lake District. The environment is the main attraction for many visitors to Chile - it is the home of Torres del Paine National Park; awe-inspiring Fjords; and the beaches of Via del Mar and Valparaso.
