Chile, the "Thin Country" is a painting made of crystal clear skies, pastel deserts, forests of intense green, glaciers of a milky blue and pearls as rare as its islands. Chile attracts mainly for the spectacular Pacific coastline, the Andean highlands and beautiful national parks, as well as for its history and culture. Despite hosting a large European community, indigenous traditions are handed down in the hills at the foot of the Andes and the southern plains. Chile is a country committed to environmental conservation in all sectors. SERNATUR (Servicio Nacional de Turismo) has created a national certification (Sello S) that identifies and rewards tourist facilities choosing sustainability as a business model.
