So today we are here...
...virtually, anyway...
And true be told...I know nothing about this strip of coastal country...and will be discovering it along with all of you.
Officially The Republic of Chile it covers the coastline...has an area of 293,000 square miles and is home to about 17.5 million people.
The country also controls several islands...including Easter Island (who knew) and which we will be checking out on this adventure!
The name originates from "...where the land ends."
The people are a mixture of Indian, European, African...and the primary language is Spanish.
The predominate religion is Catholic.
There is a mixture of climates. From the driest of desert...to Mediterranean and subtropical...and even Alpine and Glacial in some areas.
So much to see and do in this very diverse country!
Come along....
