Chile was not on our travel itinerary when we first headed down to Peru, but because of a visa mix up when we arrived in Lima, we found ourselves having to leave the country for a bit - and Chile seemed like a good place to spend a week. While we didn't get to see much of the country - only about the first 30 miles of the northern coast - we left with a strong desire to explore the area more (especially the Atacama desert, and the Patagonia region down south).
