Cheap Flights To Chile From New Zealand

Running more than 3,700 miles down the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Chile is the great backbone of South America. On one of its sides, the glacier-carved summits of the snow-capped Andes dominate, hosting ski fields and the hulking stratovolcanoes of the Ojos del Salado. Opposite that are beaches lashed by wild waves and gleaming with golden sands, rolling all the way from the Atacama Desert to the chilly specks of Patagonia, where penguins replace the sunbathers. Cheap flights to Chile from New Zealand can whisk you across to all that. Most of the connections will drop you in the buzzing capital of Santiago, where Cueca cantinas and urban parks offer the perfect way to start any Latin adventure.
