Why go to Chile?

For the third consecutive year, Chile is recognized as the best adventure tourism destination in the world at the World Travel Awards that are considered the Oscars of the international tourism industry.
One region, in particular, rarely in the headlines yet without question worth a visit for intrepid travelers is Aysén Region, where few people live and even fewer people travel. Geographically isolated on all sides by mountains, fjords, and ocean, Aysén was the last place in South America that settlers arrived in, and it was the last region to join the country.
