Chile
Chile is considered the southernmost country in the world, located near Antarctica. This state resembles a narrow strip of land on the mainland of South America and stretches along the western coast, being surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The name Chile is evidenced by the word “cold”. The capital is the city of Santiago.
Chile, a state whose territory stretches for many kilometers across the ocean, is still subject to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. This country has two mountain systems in the east and west: the Andes and the coastal Cordillera. This state can boast not only of the presence of mountains, but also of deserts, plains, fjords, glaciers and the like located in it.

A trip to Chile is a memory forever!
Chile includes three regions: the Northern Desert (Atacama), the lowland Central Chile and the hilly Southern Chile.
- Northern Chile covers two areas: plateau and desert. Endless sands give way to rich fauna and vegetation of oases, the beaches of which are famous throughout the world. Volcanoes in the east, covered with snow, extinct or dormant, they amaze with their regal appearance.
- In Central Chile, the climate of southern latitudes benefits animals and human life. Here you can find lush vegetation of weeping willows, poplars and sunflowers. Agriculture is developed here, and the production of Chilean wines is widely known in many countries.
- In addition, there are volcanoes in the center, most of which are still active today.
Since Chile is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons change differently here. Winter lasts from May to September, and from November to March the hottest months begin. Chilean sea bays with rocky shores occupy endless square kilometers in the south of the country and provide a huge abundance of seafood.
Chile is a country with a shabby history
About twelve thousand years ago BC, the first tribes settled in Chile. The Chinchorro tribe are the people who were the first to embalm mummies. At the moment, the people living in this country are of different nationalities. The mestizos, which appeared as a result of the marriages of the Spaniards with the local Indians, in the distant past mixed with other settlers.
