Chile
"Chile extends like a ribbon down the west coast of South America for over 4,000 kilometers%u2014but averages only 150 kilometers wide. From the parched but mineral-rich Atacama Desert to haunting Torres del Paine National Park and beyond to stormy Cape Horn. This elongated country, wedged between the deepest ocean and the longest mountain chain, straddles a tectonically unstable region."

Country profile: Chile
"Chile is one of South America's most stable and prosperous nations. It has been relatively free of the coups and arbitrary governments that have blighted the continent. The exception was the 17-year rule of General Augusto Pinochet, whose 1973 coup was one of the bloodiest in 20th-century Latin America and whose dictatorship left more than 3,000 people dead and missing."
