The second programme consists of a tour of Chile, a long and narrow South American country.

The north is desert. The Atacama provides spectacular sights, interesting archaeological finds and vast reserves of copper. The Andean altipiano is home to the world famous El Tatio geyser field. The central regions of Chile are the most densely inhabited and include the port of Valparaiso and the resort town of Vina del Mar.

Further south, spectacular lakes, mountains, rivers and countryside abound. Volcanoes like Osorno, cities like Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas are the hallmarks of the area. The far south is frontier land and goes all the way down to Antarctica. Patagonia is renowned for its sheep farming. National parks like the Torres del Paines offer breathtaking views of glaciers and icebergs in icy grey lakes. The Straits of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego beckon mysteriously. Nature in the form of animal life (llamas, vicunas, penguins, desert fox, condor) abounds.
