This long thin country in South America is wedged between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. It has some of the driest desert in the world but also immense ice fields and glaciers. With its population of fifteen million, largely confined to a handful of major cities, much of Chile is made up of vast tracts of scarcely touched wilderness - places where you can be days from the nearest tarred road, and where it's not unusual to stumble upon steaming hot springs, gleaming white salt flats or emerald lakes.
