I rented a car in Santiago and drove over 3000 kilometers through the country. At my furthest point in the city of Castro on Chiloe Island, I was further south than anywhere in Australia, Africa and most of New Zealand. Why Chile? It is said:

I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains.
I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details!

Waterfall, PN Alerce Andino
Thats me! The water wasn't really that cold.
Alerce Trees, PN Alerce Andino
My friend Fernanda next to some young Alerce's. Turns out the really big ones were on the other side of the park. They can be over 3000 years old and as thick as redwoods!
5000 Meter Peaks!
Taken near Rancagua outside Santiago. The hot and dry agricultural valley reminded me of home in California- except the mountains seemed twice as large!
Cerro Santa Lucia Cannons
The 3000 meter Cerro San Ramon front range in the Distance...

Fantastic job !!!
Hi Steve, just wanted to thank you for all your beautiful pictures of Chile, I'm also Californian like yourself, my wife is from Casablanca Chile, inland from Valparaiso about a half hour. She's there now with her family on vacation..... I lived in chile many years ago and loved it,, the people are wonderful as is the food and the country.. Some day I will probably retire there as it is too expensive here in the USA. Once again beautiful work on your trip and I hope it went great with your gal-pal, the women there are unique and witty... Thanks again.. Wayne.

Not chilly in Chili
Our son and 3 friends arrived in Santiago Feb. 6 and are now in Temuco visiting fellow Canadians who spend the Canadian winters in Chile, growing canola crops. Found your website..very informative, beautiful pictures, and releived some of our concerns about their personal safety about backpacking/hostelling their way through Chile, then Bolivia. Peru..eventually ending up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before they fly home on May 1. We live in Winnipeg, Canada, smack dab in the middle of the country..we had -40 degree weather here last week (doesn't matter if it's Fahrenheit or Celsius..it's the same..COLD...that's what they left behind and arrived in Chile to 86 F ...that's okay...we've got 38 F, +3C today..any advice for 4 adventurous 20 yr old Canadian boys backpacking Chile? Great site, Bruce

Chile is a dream country
I born in Chile in a wealthy family, and after I graduate I work for a couple years.I want to buy a good nice home or make a trip around the world. My good friend from the time I was a little girl, she send me an invitation to visit to her and her family here on United Estates. She introduced who was the guardian angel help her family to start here in U.S.A. after 4 mo. I want to continue my trip. I plan to go to Brazil, South America. Mexico, Central America and Canada, North America. The last thing in my list was to come to U.S.A. I want to go to Europe, France, Germany, Spain and England. I went around the world with my husband and children, but I believe the natural beauty of Chile, the friendship of the Chilean people, it's something don't compare to any other country. And Chile always have been the #1 country in South America, but the jealousy, the envy of others countries, starting from United Estates, Argentina, Peru, Mejico and others countries. Make many people around the world; think we are a poor country, type of 3rd. world country. United Estates, in the goverment of Nixon, and Kissenger as Exterior Ministry, out of envy bombarded Chile, on Sept.11, 1971. U.S.A. and others don't want to see Chile be recognize as the best country in the world, but do you know what? After the accident with the miners, many newspaper and in the internet, recognize Chile as #1, the country with best economy in the world, the people with the best education, the social security and benefits for the Chilean people it's the best, compare with others country like England,and Holland. "Don't judge the book for the cover," we are a long ribbon of beauty, and beautiful people from inside out." Hurray for Chile!
