As a country with such contrasting geographical landscapes there are so many different places to go and see. You can explore the wilderness of the Easter Islands and Patagonia; visit the lunar landscapes of the Atacama desert - otherwise known as the driest place on the planet or the talcum white glaciers in the Torres del Paine National Park. With such a varied choice of where to go, deciding can be an onerous task and maybe a glass of red in the Central Valley may help appease the hardship...Alternatively the Original Travel team have dabbled in South America and can help advise on Chile's highlights. Here are our suggestions of where to go in Chile:
