Promotional videos on tourism in Chile and Easter Island of Sernatur.

Since the mid-1990s, the tourism in Chile has become one of the main economic resources of the country, especially in its most extreme areas. In 2005 this sector grew by 13.6%, generating more than 500 millions US dollars, equivalent to 1.33% of national GDP.

According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO), Chile was the eighth popular destination for foreign tourists within America in 2010, after USA, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.[1] That year entered the country 2 766 000 tourists generated revenue of USD 1 636 million[2] The majority of these visitors came from American countries, mainly Argentina; however, the biggest growth in recent years has corresponded to visitors of Europe, especially Germany[3][dead link] During the first quarter of 2011, came more than 1 043 000 tourists, which represented an increase of 9,2 % over the same period last year,[4] which became a total of 3 069 792 until the end of the year.[3]

Located in the southwest corner of South America, Chile it describes normally made up of three geographic areas.[5] The first one, known as continental Chile, comprises a long and narrow strip of land on the west coast of Southern Cone that extends between the parallels 17°29'57" S and 56°32'12" S, mostly from the southeastern shore of the Pacific Ocean to the Andes throughout 4270 km [6] The second, called insular Chile, corresponds to a set of islands volcanic origin in the South Pacific Ocean: the Juan Fernández archipelago and Desventuradas Islands, belonging to South America, the Salas y Gómez Island and Easter Island Geographically located in the Polynesia. The third, called Chilean Antarctic Territory,[7] is an area of the Antarctica[8] de 1 250 257,6 km² between meridians 53° W and 90° W on which Chile claims sovereignty, extending its southern boundary to the South Pole. Because of its presence in America, Oceania and Antarctica, Chile describes itself as a country tricontinental.[5][9][10]

The latitudinal width of the country, which spans over 39 degrees, which reach more than 72 if include the Chilean Anthartic Territory-, its relief and influence of the Pacific Ocean are the main factors behind the climatic variety and landscape of Chile,[5] which determines the development of the formation of different ecosystems in the country.

The main Chilean attractions correspond to its coast of 6435 km long,[11] the Andes, with its ski resorts, its mountains and volcanoes - islands and archipelagos -Easter Island is one of the Chilean main attractions, and landscapes venues -integrated by 14 natural monuments, 36 National Parks, 10 biosphere reserves, 52 natural reserves, 39 sanctuaries of Nature and 12 Ramsar sites-, mainly of the extreme parts of the country.[12]

Atacama Desert, the driest in the world [14] —in October 2014, the travel guide publisher Lonely Planet highlighted this desert as the ninth among the ten regions that had to go in 2015—;[15] which has been inhabited for several thousand years, makes up the main portion of Norte Grande. A myriad of geoglyphs, petroglyphs and pictographs attest the presence of ancient cultures in the area. Among the most remarkable are those of Azapa Valley, Lluta Valley, the Atacama Giant and Pintados Geoglyphs, these latter are protected within Pampa del Tamarugal National Reserve. R. P. Gustavo Le Paige Archaeological Museum and Archaeological Museum of San Miguel de Azapa are home to the most important collections of artifacts and mummies in Chile, including the famous Chinchorro mummies, the oldest mummies in the world[16], of Chinchorro culture developed between 5000 and 1700. C. The extreme aridity of the Atacama has been a key factor in the preservation of such archaeological remains. the Chuquicamata copper deposit, the largest open pit mine in the world; [17]. And the remains of extractions made from 12,000 and 10,000 years ago in a mine of iron oxide, the oldest mine on the continent [18] [19].

The altiplano of Norte Grande has a wide variety of natural scenery including salt flats, volcanoes, lakes and geysers. San Pedro de Atacama and surrounding area offer one of most spectacular combinations of archeology and awe-inspiring natural sights. San Pedro was the cradle of the Atacameño Culture. Villages with interesting cultural past are Caspana, Toconao, Socaire and Chiu Chiu. Notable are also the pre-Hispanic fortresses of Quitor, Lasana and Turi. Antofagasta is the largest city in Norte Grande. La Portada, a stunning natural arch, is located a short drive from Antofagasta.

Among others, the most important are: Paranal (VLT), the most advanced and powerful astronomical complex of the planet; [21] the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array), to date the largest astronomical project in the world; [22][23] and La Silla,[24] all dependent of ESO (European Southern Observatory).

In this area, it can see the flowering desert, a phenomenon that occurs between September and November (most in last years) with normal range rainfall in the desert. [25] In the end of the Norte Grande, near Putre, it can see the set formed by the Lake Chungará, one of the highest lakes in the world with 4500 m,[26] and Parinacota volcano. San Pedro de Atacama is very visited by foreign tourists to appreciate the architecture of the town, the highland lakes the Moon Valley, so-named because its landscape resembles the moon.
