Chile occupies a ribbon-like (over 4300 km long, average of 180 km wide) stretch of land from the northern frontier with Peru south to the Straight of Magellan. The country is bordered by the Pacific and the Andes and offers travelers abundant opportunities.

The capital of Chile, Santiago is conveniently located one hour west of the Andes Mountains and one hour east of the Pacific Ocean. The past decade's economic growth and investment have created a clean, modern city, while colonial charm and historic museums and monuments have remained preserved.

Great Program! I wanted to let you know how much my son, Niall Roberts, enjoyed the IPSA program he recently completed in Santiago de Chile. He was there for three weeks and learned a tremendous amount. He got along very well with Maria Francisca, his home-stay hostess, and all in all he said his home-stay situation was great. Even though he had never been that far away from home on his own, he had no trouble learning how to get around Santiago, and he made a lot of friends among his classmates. Most important, he developed impressive language skills and a basic understanding of the culture in a very short time. I met him in Chile at the end of his three-week stint, and I saw for myself how easily he understood Chileans and how well he made himself understood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your program to others, and I'll certainly consider it for myself. My husband and I will be making many trips to Chile in the future to visit family and friends, and it makes far more sense for us to learn Spanish (especially Chilean Spanish!) than to expect Chileans to speak to us in English.
