South America’s Chile has it all; From mountains and forests to deserts and beaches. Bounded by the Andes mountain range Chile has a geography like no other.

Out-of-this-world landscapes, a mysterious remote pacific island, heart pounding activities in the Lake District and cathedrals of rock and Ice in Southern Patagonia.

Whether you love outdoor activities like mountaineering or more leisurely pursuits like wine tasting or exploring cities; let me show you the amazing places to visit in Chile.

Let me take you on a journey around Chile in 25 Photos:

A bird soaring over the remote, sparsely populated Atacama Desert in northern Chile — possibly the driest desert in the world — might be surprised to come upon the technological oasis of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Paranal. The world’s most advanced ground-based facility for astronomy, the site hosts four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes, four 1.8-metre Auxiliary Telescopes, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), and the 4.1-metre Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), seen in the distance on the next mountain peak over from the main platform. This aerial view also shows other structures, including the Observatory Control Room building, on the main platform’s front edge.
