Chile 154 Chile's capital city is located in the central valley, fl anked by the Andes to the east and the coastal range to the west. It is a lively and dynamic capital including several buildings in the historic downtown area - the Presidential Palace called ' La Moneda', Plaza de Armas ( main square) and the imposing Metropolitan Cathedral. If time permits, we recommend taking an afternoon trip into the Andes as an introduction to the beautiful wildfl owers and breath-taking scenery of the country. You may well see your fi rst Andean condor too! Hotel Rugendas MID Hotel Rugendas is a boutique style hotel in a quiet location, which is tastefully decorated. It has comfortable rooms, a restaurant, plus a gym and sauna. It's a lovely hotel, which offers a warm welcome to Santiago. Galerías Hotel MID The Galerías Hotel offers excellent services in a lovely historic setting in downtown Santiago. If you want a modern hotel, which is centrally located, this is the hotel for you. It has 162 spacious rooms, including six suites. Each room is air- conditioned. W Hotel HIGH For ultimate luxury, we recommend the new W Hotel. It's unique in its design and is a good alternative for people looking for something extravagant. Near to the quiet Las Condes district, it's a retreat from the frenetic pace of Santiago, and affords views to the snow- capped Andes. If you look at a map of the Americas it's likely that a very long and narrow country will catch your eye. Chile is a geographical extravaganza in its own right - nearly 5,000 kilometres long but only 150 kilometres wide. Located on the western side of South America, Chile is fl anked by the high Andes and the cold Pacifi c Ocean. In the north sits the driest desert in the world, the Atacama, while in the south the immense and contrasting landscape of Patagonia emerges between deep fjords, glaciers and vast steppes. This vastly contrasting landscape allows for the existence of a mosaic of habitats and ecosystems and correspondingly an amazingly diverse array of wildlife. We can tailor- make you a truly wonderful wildlife holiday. Talk to an expert 0845 130 6982 Santiago
