Thinking of a family vacation to Chile? If not, put this kid-friendly destination on your list! With the Pacific Ocean on one side of the narrow country and the Andes on the other, water- and mountain-lovers can get the best of both. Even with limited time, you can experience the coast, mountains, vineyards, lakes and rivers. Chile is largely about the outdoors, and it is ideal for active families who love nature. You can trek around Patagonia, bike along rivers, go whitewater rafting and even surf or ski. What’s more, there are plenty of comfortable properties where you can retreat at the end of each busy day. The kid-friendly appeal of Chile’s hotels is less about a laundry list of child-centered amenities and more about the hospitality, exquisite service and authentic sense of place.
