About Chile

A long, characteristically narrow country, Chile is located in South America and is officially known as the Republic of Chile. The country is divided into 15 regions, which are further divided into provinces. Bordered by Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, and the Dark Passage, Chile has a pacific coastline of 6,435 kilometers, making it home to a variety of climatic regions and landscapes. Wildlife is abundant in Chile, including whales and a variety of species of seals.

The culture of Chile was influenced by the Andean, Spanish, English, French and German cultures. Known as a country of poets (or país de poetas), Chile is home to many noble prize winners in literature, such as Gabriela Mistral, the first Latin American to win the award. Some famous Chilean poets include Pablo Neruda, Carlos PezoaVeliz, Vicente Huidobro, and Nicanor Parra. Music in Chile ranges from folkloric, popular and classical music, and the country’s most famous dance is known as the cueca.

A founding member of the United Nations and Union of South American Nations, Chile is the first South American country to join the OECD.
