From north to south, Chile extends 4,270 km (2,653 mi), yet is only 350 km (217 mi) at its widest point, and averages just 177 km (110 mi) east to west.
To see this visually, have a look at Chile’s length when rotated slightly compared to Europe above or its length compared to the US when placed on its side.
It’s even so long that it could be used as a land bridge between Canada and Spain:
- Fodor’s Essential Chile
- Travels in a Thin Country: A Journey Through Chile
- A Nation of Enemies: Chile Under Pinochet
