It’s one of the world’s longest countries, at over 2600 miles from north to south. Chile hosts some of the most beautiful geographical diversity, and is also one of the largest wine exporters. The country has plenty of accolades to its name, which can also make it overwhelming to the first-time visitor. So I wanted to share some of my favorite highlights, chosen from my own travels and themed around some of the best aspects of this South American gem.
The famous Torres del Paine is nothing short of spectacular, and I spent the entire time snapping photos of all the famous landmarks. This is a photo journal to help inspire your own trip to the beautiful Patagonia region of Chile.
Patagonia is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited. Even after seeing thousands of photos from social media and fellow bloggers, it was still jaw dropping to see it in person. Since Patagonia is a large region spanning Chile and Argentina, I only scraped the surface by visiting Torres del Paine. But it was still worth every second.
From the moment I saw the Pinterest post on Montana Magica Lodge in Huilo Huilo, I was enamored with the hotel, and never in a million years did I think I'd get a chance to visit this "Hobbit House." We booked a couple of nights at this magical resort nestled in a biological reserve, hoping it would live up to the hype.
Whenever you research travel in Chile, you'll see the country is divided into three main sections: the North (Atacama), the center (Santiago) and the south (Patagonia). When we first arrived to Santiago, we had a couple of weeks before our jobs began, so we decided to take advantage of our time off and explore the south. While we couldn't make it as far as Patagonia, we found some of the most beautiful vistas and scrumptious food we've ever seen and tasted.
