WELCOME TO CHILE

Bordered on one side by the Andes mountains and on the other by the Pacific Ocean, it extends over 4,000 km north to south and averages only 177 km east to west.

WHY VISIT CHILE?

Chile’s geography is perfectly honed for adventure, boasting truly world-class lodges and some of the most remarkable landscapes on the planet.

The best beaches are to be found around Easter Island, home of the mysterious monolithic human figures; the incredibly chic yet understated Pacific resort of Zapallar; and in the southern Atacama, home of the fabulous remote camp Wara Nomade.

From the Atacama Desert, the mainland stretches south through vineyards, lakes, fjords, and snow-capped volcanoes to the breathtaking Torres del Paine National Park and beyond to Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas.

We have been exploring the region for years and take great pleasure in sharing our favourite secrets and hideaways. Get in touch with one of our Chile specialists for some inspiration.

CHILE INSPIRATION

Select a Sense

Chilean cuisine is famous for its fresh seafood from its extensive coastline. Machas a la Parmesana must be tried. Empanadas, a popular pastry filled with meat or cheese, are a staple. The traditional dish, cazuela, a hearty stew, showcases local produce and meats, embodying Chile’s culinary heritage. Corn-based dishes like pastel de choclo are also favourites, symbolising the blend of Indigenous and European traditions.

Chilean music blends indigenous, Spanish, and African influences. The cueca, Chile’s national dance, involves vibrant movements that symbolise the courtship of a rooster and hen. Folk music, especially from the Andean region, features instruments like the charango and pan flute. Meanwhile, cumbia, rock, and electronica represent Chile’s more contemporary scene.

LISTEN IN

From the Andes to the Pacific. We recommend picking up wine, alpaca textiles, indigenous crafts, or a bottle of pisco for shaking your own pisco sours at home.

Chilean literature reflects the country’s complex history and cultural landscape. Some recommended reading …

Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda’s Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair is a classic.

Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits brings magical realism to life.

Alejandro Zambra’s Ways of Going Home represents contemporary Chile and explores memory and identity.
