Explore Live Cams in Chile

Chile is one of the longest and narrowest countries on Earth, a ribbon of land about 2,670 miles (4,300 km) long but on average only about 110 miles (177 km) wide, squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific. It runs from the Atacama Desert in the north through green valleys and lakes to the glaciers and fjords of Patagonia.

Its most famous natural landmark is Torres del Paine, where three sheer granite towers rise above turquoise lakes and glaciers in the far south. In the north, Ojos del Salado, at about 22,615 feet (6,893 m), is the highest active volcano in the world, and far out in the Pacific, Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is famous for its giant stone moai.

Guanacos and pumas roam the Patagonian steppe, the pudú, one of the smallest deer on Earth, hides in the southern rainforests, and Humboldt penguins nest along the cold northern coast. The huemul deer and the Andean condor appear together on the national coat of arms, and the clear desert skies make Chile a world center for astronomy.

Did You Know? Parts of the Atacama Desert are so dry and Mars-like that scientists have tested Mars rovers there, and some weather stations have barely ever recorded rain.
