Stay : To the Far North
It's best to visit Chile for at least two weeks. A stay of one or two weeks is likely to leave you tired and frustrated: between transport, jet lag and the various visits, your program may prove too intense or ambitious. That's why, if you don't have much time, we advise you to concentrate on a single area.
