The 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile was the most powerful ever recorded at magnitude 9.5.

You'll explore Chile's towering Andes and arid Atacama, the Mapuche people's centuries of resistance, the nation's path from colonial rule to independence under Bernardo O'Higgins, the poetry of Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral, traditional dishes like empanadas de pino and pastel de choclo, world-class wines and the pisco sour debate, and the stunning wildlife of Patagonia.
Chile is squeezed between the Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, creating a narrow strip of land that stretches over 4,300 kilometers from north to south but averages only 177 kilometers wide. This unique shape was also shaped by historical borders established after wars and treaties with neighboring Bolivia, Argentina, and Peru.
The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is the driest non-polar desert on Earth. Some weather stations in the Atacama have never recorded rainfall. Its extreme aridity and high altitude make it one of the best places in the world for astronomical observation, which is why major observatories like ALMA are located there.
The moai statues of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) were carved by the Rapa Nui people between roughly 1250 and 1500 CE. There are nearly 1,000 moai on the island, carved from volcanic rock at the Rano Raraku quarry and transported to stone platforms called ahu around the island's coastline.
