Santiago:
The capital of Chile, Santiago
is conveniently located one hour west of the Andes Mountains and one hour
east of the Pacific Ocean. The past decade's economic growth and
investment have created a clean, modern city, while colonial charm and
historic museums and monuments have remained preserved.
Santiago's modern subway system
is both economic and efficient and, together with an extensive bus
network and taxi supply, can quickly transport students to all parts of
the city.
Also the geographical center
of Chile, Santiago supplies direct flights and/or long-distance buses to
all corners of the country.
Chile:
Chile occupies a ribbon-like (over
4300 km long, average of 180 km wide) stretch of land from the northern
frontier with Peru south to the Straight of Magellan. The country
is bordered by the Pacific and the Andes and offers travelers abundant
opportunities:
-
Clearly visible and less than
100 km from Santiago, the nearby Andes mountains have peaks of over 6000m
and provide world-class ski resorts plus trekking, rafting, biking, and
climbing.
-
Chile has maintained numerous
national parks, giving vacationers snow-peaked volcanoes, unrivaled scenery
of the lakes district, salt-water fjords, and spectacular geysers.
-
Less than two hours west of Santiago
lie many beaches, including the famous resort of Viña Del Mar.
-
The far south, in Chilean Patagonia,
houses an area rich in marine life as whales, sea lions, and penguin colonies
can be witnessed in this sparsely populated area.
All of Chile's tourist locations
are easily accessible from Santiago, by economical domestic flights, by
rail, and by bus.
