Looking at a map of Chile one cannot but feel a touch of amazement:
what an exceedingly long, narrow strip of land,
stretching along the coast of southern South America.
Tucked as it is between the towering Andes Mountains and the endless Pacific Ocean,
it would not seem to have much room for anything.
You'd be amazed, though. Its 4,300km-long, 180km-wide territory
harbour some of the finest scenery in the Americas,
a bewildering variety of climates -only the humid, hot tropical ones are absent *-
and landscapes ranging from the world's most arid desert to the rainiest spot on the planet,
including a Sahara in the north, a California in the center,
an Alpine district in the midsouth and a Norway in the deep south,
plus some places that bear no comparison, such as Easter Island,
Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the Atacama Desert**.

Add to this a prosperous economy,
some of the best telecommunications anywhere,
good infrastructure and health services, friendly people, excellent tourist services
and a total absence of poisonous plants or insects,
and you have a destination that is hard to outclass.

"...Chile is surely one of the best kept location + production secrets in the Southern Hemisphere..
... and arguably the best organized of Latin American countries...

...Labs, post-production, off-line editing and sound equipment meet with the higher standards...

Whilst Europeans and North Americans are initially attracted
by the best of the southern hemisphere's
winter sun and summer snow,
the high production values and hardworking crews should make them want to return ..."
