Being nominated in 17 categories is an example of the offer we have, so that both Chileans and foreigners can enjoy our territory, its culture, its gastronomy, sports and its nature, among many other options, in a responsible and safe manner. Having this showcase also means an important boost for the promotion of our country as a unique destination internationally.”
The geographical diversity of Chile allows foreign and national visitors to enjoy the adrenaline of extreme sports and the serenity of its natural landscapes, ideal for romantic getaways.
The national director of Sernatur, Cristóbal Benítez, highlighted that “Chile is much more than a tourist destination.
