Chile at a glance

Chile is a country in southwestern South America, extending along a narrow strip between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The country's geographic isolation—cut off by desert to the north, mountains to the east, and ocean to the west—has shaped its distinct character. As of the 2024 census, Chile has a population of 18.5 million, with Santiago as the capital and largest city. Spanish is the official language.

Chile is classified as a high-income economy and ranks as one of the most economically and socially stable nations in South America. The country covers a territorial area of 756,102 square kilometers and shares borders with Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, and Argentina to the east. This stability and economic development make Chile a popular destination for international travelers seeking reliable luxury hospitality.
