In the beginning was just God. Thereupon God decided to create the world and its wonders. However, when completed, he realized that he still has many loose pieces. For example, he had  parts of rivers and valleys, glaciers and deserts, mountains and forests, meadows and hills. He thought it would be a shame to waste anything, so he took all and put it together to the end of the world, to the most remote place on earth and thus became the most extraordinary beauty that we know today as Chile.

(Chilean popular myth about the creation of Chile)

Norte Grande: The "Great North" begins on the border with Peru and ends at the river of Copiapo. It is desert area, dry with a few oases. The peaks of the Andes reach altitudes of over 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) on several occasions. Here is with 6,893 meter (22,615 feet) the highest point in Chile, the extinct volcano Ojos del Salado.

Norte Chico: The “Great North” followed south the "Little North". An area characterized by semi desert climate. The precipitation frequency is low. With the help of additional irrigation an intensive fruit growing takes place here.

Zona Central: In “central zone”, which covers nearly 15% of the Chilean territory, you can find almost three quarters of all Chileans. The climate is characterized by long, dry, not too hot summers and a short cool and wet winter and is reminiscent of California or the Mediterranean region. Here is concentrated the economic, political and cultural life in the capital Santiago, Valparaiso, Viña del Mar and Concepción. In the central zone prosper some of the best wines in the world.

Zona Sur: This area is also known as "Little South” and extends approximately from the Bio-Bio River to the Gulf of Reloncaví with the port city of Puerto Montt. The climate corresponds to the Atlantic Western Europe (Ireland, Brittany). The landscape resembles the foothills of the Alps, has numerous lakes and the east is dominated by volcanoes.

Zona Austral: The "Big South" includes Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn, the southernmost point of Chile and South America. The coastline is very rugged with a multitude of islands. To the south the climate becomes increasingly harsh. The landscapes are reminiscent of southern Norway and New Zealand. Here you can find fascinating natural landscapes.

Las Islas: The most important are Easter Island with their Polynesian culture, Chiloe, which is located in the Zona Sur and the Juan Fernandez archipelago with its partial endemic flora.
