Chile
Chile is a long, narrow country that stretches nearly 3,000 miles from north to south. This prosperous country is well known for its natural beauty and man-made wonders - it's home to some of the world's most unique and unforgettable sights. From vast deserts, towering mountain ranges, imposing volcanoes, modern cities, ancient wonders, and much more - there's plenty to check out, so let's take a look.
We'll begin our tour in the Chilean capital of Santiago - home to nearly 6 million people, it's a city that boasts an impressive blend of new and old architecture. The 984 foot tall Gran Torre Santiago was completed in 2013, becoming the continent's tallest skyscraper and one of the country's most famous landmarks.
After a brief stay in Santiago, we head north until we arrive in the bone-dry Atacama Desert. Chile is by far the world's largest copper producer and this region is home to a number of massive mines like Chuquicamata - the biggest open pit copper mine in the world.
The Atacama Desert is well known for being one of the world's driest regions - but even in this vast, barren landscape - there's beauty to be found. The impressive rock formations, dunes, and steep walls of the Valle de la Luna are one of the country's most unique destinations.
For our next destination, we're traveling some 2,500 miles westward to the Chilean territory of Easter Island. Famous for its nearly 1,000 mysterious Moai statues, no one knows for certain how they got there - but they've kept visitors in awe ever since.
We return to the mainland - and our next sight is located in the southern portion of the country. The peaks of Torres del Paine are one of the region's most iconic natural wonders - and they're even more beautiful during a Chilean sunset.
We travel further north, moving into the country's scenic Lake District and having a stop at the quaint village of Castro. Stilt houses (called Palafito) like these can be seen dotting the city's waterfront, making for a fascinating and colorful sight.
Our tour of Chile concludes with a look over the country's beautiful Lake District and Villarrica Volcano - truly a sight to behold.
