Our Travel Expert, James, has recently returned from Chile and Argentina. Read the account of his trip in On Location.

Travel to Chile and find a country stretching for some 4,350 kilometres, a country of startling contrast and extreme beauty. In the north is Atacama, the driest desert in the world, while in the south are snow-capped volcanoes, crystal-clear waters, majestic fjords, glaciers and windswept steppes of Patagonia.

Also part of Chile are the intriguing Robinson Crusoe and Easter Islands, lying some 3,700 kilometres off the Pacific coast. Whilst on holiday in Chile, sample the delicious, world-renowned Chilean food and wine, meet a very proud and friendly nation and explore a country whose stunning geographic and topographic features cannot fail to impress.

Cruise through the pristine and remote channels and fjords of Patagonia or through the Straits of Magellan to Tierra Del Fuego and onto Cape Horn (May October).

Holidays to Chile also combine well with Antarctica or Bolivia.
