Chile, Republic in South America
The nation extends over 4,300 kilometers along South America's western coast, between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains range.
The Spanish colonization of Chile began in 1536 under Diego de Almagro, leading to conflicts with indigenous populations until independence in 1818.
The national dance cueca represents traditional Chilean identity through choreography depicting courtship between a man and woman with handkerchiefs.
The country maintains a robust transportation system connecting major cities through buses, trains, and domestic flights operated by multiple carriers.
The Atacama Desert in northern Chile contains areas where no rainfall has ever been recorded, making it the driest non-polar region.
