of Lisboa to the mysti-
cal choirs of Alentejo.

Synopsis:
“Chile is home to the driest desert in the world
and its crystal clear skies;
the age-old icefields and
pristine landscapes of
the South; a breathtaking coastline that opens
up to an immense ocean
and the astonishing islands that it holds; powerful rivers that irrigate
fertile fields; and, the
Andes, the massif that
forms the nation’s backbone, which unites us all.
That diversity is the
source of our bounty.
As it is our brand, Chile
Brand.”
