Chile Map
Geography
Chile is a beautiful country, with attractions like the Andes and the forests of the Lake District. Chile stretches over 2,700 miles along the southwestern coast of South America, a distance roughly the same as that from San Francisco to New York. At the same time, its width is 150 miles making the country more than eighteen times longer than its widest point.
The most obvious factor in Chile is the massive wall of the Andes, a mountain range that contains more than fifty active volcanic peaks. The western border is the Pacific Ocean. In the center of the country is a long and expansive river valley, where Santiago, the capital, is located. Also part of Chile is Juan Fernandez Islands and the famous Easter Island, both of which are national parks.
