• Santiago
On a clear day, fresh after winter showers, Santiago basks in one of the most spectacular settings of any city in the world. A glance through the downtown blocks reveals a mighty circle of mountains - the snowcapped Andean peaks to the east, and a smaller coastal range to the west - that frames the Chilean capital …

• Easter Island
Marooned in the Pacific, 2,1810 miles (3,510 km) off the coast of Chile, Easter Island (or Rapa Nui, as it's officially known) is not only one of the world's most remote and little-visited destinations, but one of its most enigmatic UNESCO World Heritage sites-a veritable open-air museum dotted with some 20,000 archaeological sites …

• North Chile
Norte Grande features the Pacific Ocean, the starkly desolate but unique Atacama Desert with its deeply incised canyons, and the Andean altiplano (steppe) with its volcanic summits. The region's great mineral wealth has given it a special role in Chilean history; most cities in the Atacama, such as Iquique and Antofagasta, owe their existence to nitrates and copper …

• Patagonia
Remote and rugged, Chile's southernmost region is one of the country's most historically and geographically fascinating. Region XII, considered the heart of Patagonia, takes in all of the country's territory beyond about 49 degrees south, including the western half of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego (whose eastern half is Argentine), the largely uninhabited islands of the Tierra del Fuego Archipelago, and the slice of Antarctica claimed by Chile …

• Puerto Montt
Founded as late as 1853 during the German colonization of southern Chile, Puerto Montt soon outgrew older neighboring cities due to its strategic position at the southern end of the Chilean Central Valley being a gateway city into Chiloé Archipelago, Llanquihue and Nahuel Huapi lakes and Western Patagonia. Puerto Montt is the main sea port at the lower end of Chile's western continental land …

• Puerto Natales
Puerto Natales is located at the opening of Última Esperanza Sound and was originally inhabited by the Kawésqar or Alacaluf people and the Aoniken or Tehuelche people. The first European to discover the area where the city is located was Juan Ladrillero, a Spanish explorer who was looking for the Strait of Magellan's western passage in 1557 …

• Puerto Varas
Puerto Varas is famous for its German traditions, its natural environment, and its popularity as a tourist destination. It enjoys a scenic location close to mountains, lakes, forests and national parks. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the city of Puerto Montt on the shore of Llanquihue Lake, the second largest lake in Chile …

• Punta Arenas
The southernmost urban hub in the Americas, Punta Arenas has long been the gateway to Antarctica, though some traffic has shifted to smaller, more southerly towns in recent years. Regardless, this remains the most convenient spot in the hemisphere to see penguins, glaciers and that fantastic Patagonian landscape of ice-carved granite peaks thrusting up through the tenacious green …

• San Pedro de Atacama
The Atacama Desert is the driest place in the world, and although the landscape is stark, the area surrounding the outpost town of San Pedro de Atacama is incredibly varied. There are soft sand dunes at Moon Valley and bright rainbow formations at Rainbow Valley, and for an area that is so arid, there's a surprising amount of water, much of it trapped under the salt lake, or salar, of the Atacama …

• Valparaiso
Valparaiso played an important geopolitical role in the second half of the 19th century, when the city served as a major stopover for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by crossing the Straits of Magellan. Valparaíso mushroomed during its golden age, as a magnet for European immigrants, when the city was known by international sailors as "Little San Francisco" …
