CHILE & PATAGONIA
The Atacama Desert to the north, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Patagonian Ice fields to the south are the borders of this diverse country. Santiago is a jump off point for several side trips—the Malpo Valley in the Central Valley is well- known for its wines. The artistic city of Valparaiso set on a hillside is a graffiti marvel, and to the south is the Moreno Glacier of Patagonia. Near the Strait of Magellan inhabits a colony of the Humboldt penguin.
