Chile Map

Chile is a very narrow country running along the Pacific coast of South America. The Andes Mountains separate Chile from Argentina on its east. At Chile's widest point, the country is only a little over 200 miles across, but its coastline runs over 2,600 miles from the tip of South America in Patagonia to the border with Peru. Cruise ships often sail the beautiful Chilean fjords south of Valparaiso (Santiago), and a 2-week itinerary between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Valparaiso is a very popular cruise, featuring fjords, penguins, glaciers, and other natural phenomena.
