Chile is bordered by the Pacific ocean to the west, and separated from the rest of South America by the Andes Mountains. Nearly three thousand miles in length and rarely more than a hundred miles wide, Chile stretches virtually from the topics to Antarctica. Traveller Ian Wright begins his journey in the scorching aridity of the Atacama desert. He then moves south to the capital, Santiago before taking a train to visit the indigenous Mapuche Indians. He travels across the outstanding glacier-streamed mountains of Torres del Paine National Park. Via Robinson Crusoe Island, he flies to Easter Island and ends his journey on one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. Along the way...
