Photo Gallery: The Best of Chile

Chile must be one of the world’s most beautiful places. The narrow 2,700-mile long nation includes virtually every climate — from the awesome landscapes of Patagonia and snowcapped volcanoes in the Andes to the mountainside capital of Santiago and the world’s driest desert in the northern Atacama.

It truly is remarkable. During my ten-week stay in the country, I saw a lot and took some photos.

This represents a collection of some of my favorite images and landscapes from throughout Chile.
