A long and narrow strip of land between the Andes Mountains and Pacific Ocean, Chile (once known as Tchili, meaning “snow”) is a country in South America bordered by Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. In 1541, Pedro de Validivia, a Spanish conquistador, founded Santiago the capital of Chile.

Today, Santiago is home to over 5 million people and boasts some of Chile’s most beautiful natural attractions including Torres del Paine and the southern Lake District where tourists and locals can go hiking or biking past lush forests and impressive mountains. Among the popular historical landmarks for tourists is Easter Island (Isla de Pascua), a World Heritage site which is famous for its monumental statues.

New Delhi is India’s capital city and has been the capital of many ancient Indian empires. Built in the 1920s, “new” Delhi is distinguished by its wide, tree-lined boulevards reminiscent of its colonial British roots, while the “old” Delhi sector is a street maze full of markets, historical architecture and monuments. New Delhi is also a booming financial marketplace, with large industries in information technology, telecommunications, tourism, banking and the hospitality sector. New Delhi lies in northern India in the Gangetic Plains and gets a good dousing every year between July and August during the infamous South Asian monsoons season.
