Chile is such a long country, north to south, that it spans many climate zones.
If flipped head over heels into corresponding latitudes in the northern hemisphere, it would stretch from Acapulco, Mexico to Juneau, Alaska. So far, my favorite part of Chile is the woodsy lake and fjord districts immediately north and south of Puerto Montt. The natural scenery is very beautiful, the culture is quaint, the people are friendly and most costs are modest. Other than sightseeing, shopping and eating, there are a lot of available outdoor activities, from fishing to hiking to cycling to photography to white water rafting to mountain climbing. My travels in these districts have all taken place during the uncrowded, low season which is March through mid-December.
