Emirates destinations
Flights to Chile land you in one of South America’s most popular destinations. Given its reputation as one of the friendliest countries in South America, and with incredible views, tourists and travellers are all too eager to return time and again.
Whenever you’re travelling across Chile, we definitely recommend opting for the scenic route. The country is surrounded by the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, making it a natural wonder in its own right.
As you travel from north to south you’ll see incredibly diverse landscapes, from the grand Torres del Paine (towers of blue) glacial park and Chilean fjords, to the coppery mountains and salt plains of San Pedro de Atacamae (the most visited place in Chile).
Spend hours hiking across Unesco site Easter Island (Rapa Nui) – famously known for its hundreds of Polynesian statues called moai that have enchanted historians, archaeologists and tourists alike. Once you’ve finished exploring above ground you’ll want to venture below – thanks to continuous volcanic eruptions, the island has an intricate cave system that carries its own legends and secrets.
If you’re more of a waterbaby, take your surf board to Iquique to ride the white peaks at Playa Cavancha beach. And for the more daring, head out to the Atacama Desert to explore Chile’s mysterious mining ghost towns.
Given the diversity of the country’s topography, Chile’s cities each offer something unique. Santiago is an adventure waiting to happen with its numerous barrios (neighbourhoods) and close access to the Andes. While La Serena is the country’s hub for intellectualism and education, featuring an archaeological museum and astronomical observatory.
