Map of Chile
Offering a beautiful natural environment, Chile boasts skiing and snowboarding in the Andes, hiking trails in the mountains, and 2700 miles of beach-lined seacoast. Since the country is only 100 miles wide, mountains and beaches are just two hours apart! In the north of Chile is the desert, while the central area near Santiago supports agriculture and vineyards. The southern region is home to lakes, forests, and volcanoes. Seasons are the reverse of those in the U.S. There is easy travel to Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina.

Santiago

Stretching from desert land to glaciers, from volcanoes to lush valleys, from dense forests to open plains, Chile is a country of extremes. Bound to attract international students with a taste for adventure and the great outdoors, it also has a rich cultural offering and is home to one of the strongest higher education systems in Latin America. Read on for more on what it’s like to study in Chile, and an overview of the country’s highest ranked universities.

On the map, Chile is easily located as Argentina’s much skinnier neighbor; what it lacks in breadth it more than makes up for in length, extending 4,270km along the western coast of South America. The majority of Chile’s population of 15 million is collected in just a handful of major cities, between which lie long stretches of uninhabited wilderness and vast lengths of deserted coastline. If it wasn’t for the backdrop of the snow-capped peaks of the Andes in the east, the capital city Santiago would seem a world away from Chile’s untamed wilderness. And although the city sometimes gets a bad press for its loud streets and haze of pollution, Santiago has a shed load of ambition, culture and quirkiness waiting to captivate international students and tourists alike.

Claiming the title of the ‘pais de poetas’, or ‘country of poets’, Chile adds a strong cultural offering to its natural landscape’s visual beauty. Among the country’s poets and literary stars are Nobel laureates Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda, as well as international bestsellers Isabel Allende and Roberto Bolano.
