| Description: |
|
Chile is the very long and thin country in South America. It is 4200 km in length but never gets wider than 180 kms. It is a beautiful country with some of the best deserts in the world and the Andes Trail which begins in Chile is an excellent journey passing through stunning and diverse scenery. |
