Chile, widely differing wild landscapes

Located between Peru and Cape Horn, Chile is a long strip of land stretching for nearly 4 300 km from north to south. The Andes mountain range forms a natural border separating Chile from Argentina and Bolivia. In the north of the country, you can visit the remarkable Atacama desert, on the border with Peru. This desert is an exceptional site for star-gazing, thanks to the clean air, or to admire pink flamingos on the Salar. You will also discover the magnificent volcanoes dotted here and there in the Andes, in particular Ojos Del Salado which at 6 893 metres is the highest volcano in the world. Between the mountains and the ocean are vast plains covered with several forests and vineyards. Don't forget to explore the steppes, fjords and glaciers of the Terra del Fuego and Patagonia. And finally, the unique, unforgettable and unmissable site, the mysterious Easter Island. With so many places to visit, Chile is a country much sought-after by tourists. The climate, the long beaches, the friendliness of the inhabitants and its fauna and flora make Chile an ideal destination for a superb holiday. Air France offers several flights each week to Chile. Before you set out, don't forget to consult the Foreign Office for information concerning your visit.
