Chile’s land mass is a long and narrow strip 2,672 miles long and only an average of 112 miles wide along the western coast of South America. Because it covers such a great distance from north to south, the climate and geography vary widely, from arid desert in the north to temperate in the central region, to sub-arctic in the south. You will find everything from dense forests to lakes, beautiful sand beaches, volcanoes, and the Andes mountains. Chileans take advantage of their long coastline to indulge in a variety of water sports, from swimming to surfing. Soccer is by far the most popular spectator sport, followed by basketball.

Chile enjoys a fast-growing economy and the population is highly educated. Chileans are generally warm and friendly, though they have a reputation as being slightly more reserved than other South Americans. They tend to have a strong sense of national pride and welcome the opportunity to share their culture and heritage with foreigners.
