Introduction to Chile

Chile is a popular country to visit in South America and there is a lot to see and do. Places we recommend visiting include seeing the huge Atacama desert in the North or heading to the Patagonia in the South. Try to visit Chile in September as 'Dieciocho' takes place where people celebrate Chilean culture with patriotic celebrations 'Fiestas Patrias'. The festivities usually take place with music and delicious food including empanadas (pasty) and anticuchos (shish kebabs). Visiting a rodeo show or parade with Chilean cowboys and dancing the night away to the national dance of Chile the cueca is also recommended.
