Hiking in Chile is characterized by a wide range of environments and climates for hikers, which largely results from Chile's unusual, ribbon-like shape, which is 4,300 kilometres (2,700 miles) long and on average 175 kilometres (109 miles) wide. These range from the world's driest desert, the Atacama, in the north, through a Mediterranean climate in the center, to the glaciers, fjords and lakes of Patagonia in the south. ==National trail network== The Sendero de Chile (“Chilean national trail”) project was launched by the Chilean government to celebrate the country’s 2010 bicentenary of independence from Spain.〔(Chile: a mega trail for eco tourism ) ipsnews.net. Retrieved 18 March 2013.〕 It aims to provide access to “Chile’s most awe inspiring landscapes and cultures, from the heights of the altiplano, with its volcanoes and salt flats, to the end of the American continent.” 〔(The Trail ) Sendero de Chile, retrieved 23 February 2013.〕 When completed, the national trail network Sendero de Chile (“Chilean Trail”) will provide signposted paths through the length of Chile covering approximately 8,500 km of trails. The trail divides the country into nine hiking zones: *Iquique and Tarapacá *Calama *Atacama Coast *Central Andes *Alto Bío Bío *Andean Araucanía *Valdivian Forest *Patagonia Aysén *Última Esperanza 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hiking in Chile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
