At 4,270 km Chile is the longest country in the world from north to south.

The origin of the name Chile may come from the indigenous Mapuche word chili, meaning, 'where the land ends.' 

Chile has around 500 active volcanoes.

Chile may be known for its wine, but the vines are not indigenous to the region. Grape vines were first brought over by the Spanish colonizers.
