About Chile-

  • The Republic of Chile is a country in the western part of South America. 
  • It occupies a long, narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
  • The Andes Mountains are the longest continental mountain range in the world. 
  • The capital is Santiago and Currency is Chilean peso.

  • It is bounded on the north by Peru and Bolivia, on its long eastern border by Argentina, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. 
  • It exercises sovereignty over Easter Island, the Juan Fernández Archipelago, and the volcanic islets of Sala y Gómez, San Félix, and San Ambrosio, all of which are located in the South Pacific. 
  • Because of the country’s extreme length it has a wide variety of climates, from the coastal desert beginning in the tropical north to the cold subantarctic southern tip.
  • Much of northern Chile is desert; the central part of the country is a temperate region where the bulk of the population lives and where the larger cities, including Santiago, are located. 
  • South-central Chile, with a lake and forest region, is temperate, humid, and suitable for grain cultivation.
  • It was colonised by Spain, and the culture that evolved was largely Spanish. 
  • The major landforms of Chile are arranged as three parallel north–south units: the Andes mountains to the east; the intermediate depression, or longitudinal valley, in the centre; and the coastal ranges to the west.
  • Major mountains of Chile are: Ojos del Salado (6893 meters), Tres Cruces, Llullaillaco, Tres Cruces Central, Incahuasi.
  • Chile has one of the world’s largest income gaps, with 1% of the population owning 25% of the country’s wealth, according to the United Nations.
