Chile is today the world's largest source of lapis lazuli, a striking semiprecious stone that is extracted from the Flores de los Andes mine at an altitude of 12,500 feet. Almost everywhere in Chile, you will find jewelry and crafts that incorporate this stone.
On my recent Chilean journey, I traveled the entire 3,000-mile length of the country. Overall, the quality of the hotels and resorts exceeded my expectations. Should you decide to follow in my footsteps, you will stay in places that offer exemplary comfort and fine service.

(Although Santiago is on approximately the same longitude as Boston, 70 degrees west, it is two hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time).
In recent years, Chilean cuisine has become much more imaginative and intriguing. Chefs now take full advantage of the country's exceptional fish and seafood, its superb lamb and the abundance of outstanding fresh fruits and vegetables.This transformation has occurred in tandem with the growing reputation of Chilean wines.
