About the country

About Chile

Chile is a long, narrow country running north to south between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. The Atacama Desert lies in the north, vineyard-covered valleys in the centre and the lakes and glaciers of Patagonia in the south. Chileans' fast speech and distinctive everyday expressions can be surprising at first, but they offer a valuable chance to tune your ear to real-life Spanish.

Chile's General Spanish programmes are in the capital, Santiago. Built right at the foot of the Andes, the city combines modern business districts, historic squares, museums and green hills, offering both organised city living and easy access to nature. You can study in a dynamic capital during the week and set aside weekends for the coast, the wine valleys or the mountains.

Why this country

Why Chile?

Spanish in Santiago, between the Andes and the Pacific.

  • A city beneath the Andes

    Short trips from Santiago take you to mountain hikes, ski resorts in the winter months and spectacular views of the Andes.

  • Escapes to the Pacific coast

    Valparaíso, known for its colourful houses and street art, and neighbouring Viña del Mar are ideal for day or weekend trips from Santiago.

  • Spanish as it is spoken
