Chile
Chile is considered to be the southernmost state in the world, located close to Antarctica. This state resembles a narrow strip of land on the mainland of South America and stretches along the west coast, being surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Chile’s name comes from the word “cold.” The capital is the city of Santiago.
Chile is a country whose territory stretches for many kilometers along the ocean, still subject to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There are two mountain systems in the east and west: the Andes and the coastal Cordilleras. This state can boast not only the presence of mountains, but also located in it deserts, plains, fjords, glaciers and the like.

A trip to Chile – a memory for a lifetime!
Chile comprises three regions: the Northern Desert (Atacama), located in the plain of Central Chile, and the hilly South of Chile.
Northern Chile comprises two areas: the plateau and the desert. Endless sands are replaced by rich vegetation and fauna of oases, whose beaches are famous all over the world. Volcanoes in the east, covered with snow, extinct or dormant, they strike with their royal appearance.
In Central Chile, the climate of the southern latitudes helps the lives of people and animals. Here you can find lush vegetation of weeping ivy, poplars and sunflowers. Agriculture is developed here, and the production of Chilean wines is widely known to many countries.
In the center are also located volcanoes, which are mostly active to this day.
Since Chile is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons change here differently. Winter lasts from May to September, and from November to March the hottest and most sweaty months come. Marine Chilean Gulfs with rocky shores occupy endless square kilometers in the south of the country and give an immense wealth of gifts of the sea.
