Chile, World Champions! We are the Best Green Destination in 2022.

We are World Champions! Chile was chosen as the World’s Leading Green Destination 2022 by the World Travel Award (WTA), known as the Oscars of Tourism.

This recognition is a great pride for our country and tourism, which has made an effort to provide an unforgettable and environmentally friendly experience.

What is a Green Destination?

Green Destinations are tourist places that allow us to enjoy ourselves, while always taking care of the ecosystem and biodiversity in the area, the sustainability and conservation of the natural and cultural environment we visit. But it is not only about nature because the efforts from each country and its communities to take care of our planet are also important.

The title of World’s Leading Green Destination 2022 obtained by Chile is related to different initiatives, such as rural tourism, the local flora and fauna protection, and our country’s heritage preservation.

We want to show you some of the experiences that make us the World’s Leading Green Destination.
