Come to the Southern Hemisphere, come to South America. Chile is sandwiched between two natural barriers – to the east lie the majestic Andes Mountains and to the west lies the Pacific Ocean – making Chile a country rather isolated, resulting in flourishing agricultural and fishing industries.
The climatic diversity ranging from the tropical, arid north to the cool, damp south allows Chile to produce a vast array of products, and the quality and flavour of its seafood, fish, wines and fruit, to name but a few, has positioned the country as an important global food supplier.
