There are many reasons why to invest in Chile. The Central Region of Chile and specifically the area around Valparaiso and Viña del Mar offers by far the best lifestyle and investment opportunities in Chile. From converting Victorian mansions in Valparaiso into loft apartments, buying raw land or 1 hectare plots in private communities or luxury apartments with stunning views over the Pacific Ocean, Chile has everything an intelligent investor is looking for.
The Central Region has Chile's best schools, best bars and restaurants, best sporting facilities and you can lie on the beach one day and be climbing an Andean peak the next. South America's premier ski resort, Portillo is just a short drive away. Chile's only major international airport is never more than two hours drive and the pulsing capital city, Santiago, with excellent museums, theatres and the opera is also very close by.
