Northern Chile Flights & Travel Overview
Northern Chile is made up of two main regions: the Norte Chico, or 'little north' and the Norte Grande, often known as the 'far north' or the 'great north'.
The Norte Chico stretches from the Santiago region up to about 500km north. The geography is characterised by long parched hills, punctuated occasionally by lush valleys, that have sprung up around rivers that flow down from the Andes to the ocean.
As you move north, the sun-baked hills and gentle valleys of the Norte Chico gradually give way to the more desolate plains of the Atacama desert, marking the beginning of the Norte Grande . On the eastern edge of the country, the desert climbs up into the Altiplano highlands, where salt flats and lakes spread out far into the distance, eventually spilling over into Bolivia and Argentina.
