Santiago de Chile
Santiago de Chile is a city of contrasts. It's a modern metropolis whose
shining international air terminal greets foreign bankers rushing to invest
their money in one of South America's most dynamic economies. At the same time,
struggling street vendors board city buses to hawk everything from pins and
needles to pens and ice cream, and housemaids ride for hours to scrub floors
and change diapers in exclusive suburbs. Santiago is first and foremost a city
of commerce, but visitors will find much to enjoy in the city and its
surroundings. The majestic Andean Mountain Range can be seen from almost
anywhere in the city. The town takes the cake when it comes to excursions -
less than an hour from the city center are world-class ski resorts and
white-water rafting opportunities, famous beaches and the colorful port city of
Valparaíso. Few capitals can match Santiago's options for a free afternoon, day
or weekend.
Santiago is connected to the rest of Chile and the world by many
airlines offering regular flights. There are rail services only to the south of
Chile. An extensive road network links the capital with the rest of the
country.
Travel Information
Looking
at a map of Chile one cannot but feel a touch of amazement: what an exceedingly
long, narrow strip of land, stretching along the coast of southern South
America. Tucked as it is between the towering Andes mountains and the endless
Pacific Ocean, it would not seem to have much room for anything. You'd be
amazed, though. Its 4,300km-long, 180km-wide territory harbors some of the
finest scenery in the Americas, a bewildering variety of climates -only the
humid, hot tropical ones are absent- and landscapes ranging from the world's
most arid desert to the rainiest spot on the planet, including a Sahara in the
north, a California in the center, an Alpine district in the midsouth and a
Norway in the deep south, plus some places that bear no comparison, such as
Easter Island, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the Atacama Desert.
December
is an excellent time to travel in Chile. The local organizers will help the
interested participants to arrange a trip to any location in Chile. More
