Follow its rugged Andean spine and you'll come across the lush vineyards of Talca, the rich forests of Parque Nacional Chiloe, shimmering lakes, the world's driest desert (near San Pedro de Atacama), and the icy-blue glaciers of southern Patagonia. And there's loads to do for adrenalin jukies-climb volcanoes, run white-water rapids, surf, swim, paraglide, soak in hot springs... the list goes on... Unbelievable? Well, that's Chile for you!
