Chile Country Guide
Outdoor activities
Such a rich natural setting provides Chile with a wealth of possibilities for fans of the great outdoors. From excellent skiing, through to trekking, horse riding and rafting adventure sport opportunities, the country is increasingly on the radar of adrenaline junkies.
Santiago
The country's capital Santiago is a vast, often smoggy sprawl set between the Andes and a coastal mountain range. It has several museums and attractions that are well worth a visit, and a reasonable choice of accommodation and restaurants.
Economic stability
Chile is also a relative success story among South America's national economies. Its copper industry has long been a mainstay of the country's income, although Chile now faces a challenge to diversify its exports.
Chile is now a politically stable nation, having emerged from Augusto Pinochet's 17-year dictatorship in 1990.
