Chili, izina ryuzuye rya Repubulika ya Chili, ifite ubuso bwa kilometero kare 756.626 (harimo n'ubutaka bwa kilometero kare 756.253 hamwe nubuso bwa kilometero kare 373). Iherereye mu majyepfo y’iburengerazuba bwa Amerika yepfo, umusozi wiburengerazuba bwa Andes. Iyegeranye na Arijantine mu burasirazuba, Peru na Boliviya mu majyaruguru, inyanja ya pasifika iburengerazuba, na Antaragitika mu majyepfo hakurya y'inyanja. Inkombe z'inyanja zifite uburebure bwa kilometero 10,000, uburebure bwa kilometero 4352 uva mu majyaruguru ugana mu majyepfo, kilometero 96.8 z'ubugari kuva iburasirazuba ugana iburengerazuba, na kilometero 362.3 z'ubugari.Ni igihugu gifite ubutaka bugufi ku isi. Mu burasirazuba hari ahahanamye h'iburengerazuba bwa Andes, bingana na 1/3 cy'ubugari bw'ubutaka bwose; mu burengerazuba hari imisozi yo ku nkombe ifite ubutumburuke bwa metero 300-2000. Igice kinini cy'akarere kanyuze ku nkombe kandi kinjira mu nyanja mu majyepfo, kigakora ibirwa byinshi byo ku nkombe; Ikibaya cyuzuyemo amabuye ya alluvial ni metero 1200 hejuru yinyanja. Muri utwo turere hari ibirunga byinshi hamwe na nyamugigima kenshi. Impinga ya Ojos del Salado ku mupaka uhuza Chili na Arijantine ni metero 6.885 hejuru y’inyanja, ahantu hirengeye muri iki gihugu. Mu gihugu hari imigezi irenga 30, iy'ingenzi ni uruzi rwa Biobio. Ibirwa nyamukuru ni Tierra del Fuego, Ikirwa cya Chiloe, Ikirwa cya Wellington, n'ibindi. Ikirere gishobora kugabanywamo ibice bitatu bitandukanye: amajyaruguru, hagati, n’amajyepfo: igice cy’amajyaruguru ahanini ni ikirere cy’ubutayu; igice cyo hagati ni ubwoko bwa Mediterane ya subtropical hamwe n’imvura n’imvura yumutse. Ikirere; Amajyepfo nubushyuhe bwimvura yagutse-amababi y’amashyamba. Kuba Abanya Chili baherereye mu majyepfo y’umugabane w’Amerika kandi bakareba Antaragitika hakurya y’inyanja, bakunze kwita igihugu cyabo "igihugu cy’imperuka y'isi."

Igihugu kigabanyijemo uturere 13, hamwe n'intara 50 n'imijyi 341. Amazina y'uturere ni aya akurikira: Tarapaca, Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Valparaiso, Jenerali O'Higgins Liberator, Maule, Biobio, A Rocanía, Los Lagos, Eisen wa Jenerali Ibanez, Magellan, Akarere ka Santiago.

Mu minsi ya mbere, habaga amoko y'Abahinde nka Alaugans n'abaturage ba Huotian. Mbere y'intangiriro z'ikinyejana cya 16, yari iy'Ingoma ya Inca. Mu 1535, abakoloni b'Abesipanyoli bateye mu majyaruguru ya Chili bava muri Peru. Nyuma yo gushingwa kwa Santiago mu 1541, Chili yabaye ubukoloni bwa Esipanye kandi iyobowe na yo imyaka igera kuri 300. Ku ya 18 Nzeri 1810, Chili yashyizeho komite nyobozi yo gukoresha ubwigenge. Muri Gashyantare 1817, ingabo zifatanije na Arijantine zatsinze ingabo z'abakoloni ba Esipanye. Ubwigenge bwatangajwe ku mugaragaro ku ya 12 Gashyantare 1818, hashyirwaho Repubulika ya Chili.

Ibendera ryigihugu: rigizwe n'ubururu, umweru n'umutuku. Inguni yibendera kuruhande rwo hejuru rwibendera ni kare yubururu hamwe ninyenyeri yera-ifite inyenyeri eshanu zishushanyije hagati. Ibendera ryibendera rigizwe nurukiramende rumwe, rwera numutuku. Umweru uri hejuru, umutuku uri hepfo. Igice cyera kingana na bibiri bya gatatu byumutuku. Ibara ry'umutuku rigereranya amaraso y'abahowe Imana bapfuye ubutwari i Rancagua kubera ubwigenge n'ubwisanzure bwa Chili, no kurwanya ubutegetsi bw'ingabo z'abakoloni bo muri Esipanye. Umweru ugereranya urubura rwera rwa mpinga ya Andes. Ubururu bugereranya inyanja.

Chili ituwe n'abaturage miliyoni 16.0934 (2004), naho abatuye mu mijyi bangana na 86,6%. Muri bo, ubwoko buvanze n'Ubuhinde n'Uburayi bwagize 75%, cyera 20%, Umuhinde 4,6%, andi 2%. Ururimi rwemewe ni icyesipanyoli, naho Mapuche ikoreshwa mu miryango y'Abahinde. 69,9% by'abaturage barengeje imyaka 15 bemera Gatolika, naho 15.14% bemera ivugabutumwa.

Chili nigihugu cyo murwego rwohejuru rwiterambere. Ubucukuzi bw'amabuye y'agaciro, amashyamba, uburobyi n'ubuhinzi bikungahaye ku mutungo kandi ni inkingi enye z'ubukungu bw'igihugu. Ikungahaye ku bucukuzi bw'amabuye y'agaciro, mu mashyamba no mu mazi yo mu mazi, irazwi ku isi yose kubera ubwinshi bw'umuringa kandi izwi ku izina rya "igihugu cy'amabuye y'agaciro y'umuringa". Ububiko bw'umuringa bwagaragaye bugera kuri toni zirenga miliyoni 200, buza ku mwanya wa mbere ku isi, bingana na 1/3 cy'ububiko bw'isi. Ibisohoka no kohereza ibicuruzwa byumuringa nabyo ni nimero ya mbere kwisi. Ububiko bw'ibyuma bugera kuri toni miliyari 1,2, naho amakara agera kuri toni miliyari 5. Mubyongeyeho, hariho umunyu, molybdenum, zahabu, feza, aluminium, zinc, iyode, amavuta, gaze gasanzwe, nibindi. Ikungahaye ku mashyamba yoroheje n'ibiti byiza.Niwohereza ibicuruzwa byinshi mu mashyamba muri Amerika y'Epfo. Ikungahaye ku mutungo w'uburobyi, ni igihugu cya gatanu mu burobyi ku isi. Inganda n'ubucukuzi bw'amabuye y'agaciro ni ubuzima bw'ubukungu bw'igihugu cya Chili. Ubutaka bwahinzwe ni kilometero kare 16,600. Amashyamba yo muri iki gihugu afite hegitari miliyoni 15.649, bingana na 20.8% by'ubutaka bw'igihugu. Ibicuruzwa nyamukuru byamashyamba ni ibiti, ifu, impapuro, nibindi.

Chili ni kimwe mu bihugu bifite umuco w’ubuhanzi n’ubuhanzi muri Amerika y'Epfo. Hariho amasomero 1999 mu gihugu hose, hamwe hamwe hamwe hamwe miliyoni 17.907. Hano hari sinema 260. Umurwa mukuru Santiago nicyo kigo cyibikorwa byumuco byigihugu, gifite galeries 25. Umusizi Gabriela Mistral yatsindiye igihembo cyitiriwe Nobel cy’ubuvanganzo mu 1945, abaye umwanditsi wa mbere w’umunyamerika yepfo wabonye iki gihembo. Umusizi Pablo Neruda yatsindiye igihembo cyitiriwe Nobel mu 1971.

Ikirwa cya Pasika cya Chili giherereye mu majyepfo y’amajyepfo ya pasifika kandi kizwi cyane kubera colosse idasanzwe. Hano kuri icyo kirwa hari amabuye manini arenga 600 ya kera. Muri Gashyantare 1996, iki kirwa cyatangajwe ko ari umurage ndangamuco ku isi na UNESCO.

Santiago: Santiago, umurwa mukuru wa Chili, ni umujyi wa kane munini muri Amerika yepfo. Iherereye mu gice cyo hagati cya Chili, ireba uruzi rwa Mapocho imbere, Andes mu burasirazuba, n'icyambu cya Valparaiso mu burengerazuba nko mu birometero 185. Ifite ubuso bwa kilometero kare 13,308 kandi ni metero 600 hejuru yinyanja. Impeshyi irumye kandi yoroheje, kandi imbeho irakonje kandi imvura nigihu. Abaturage ni 6.465.300 (2004), kandi yubatswe mu 1541. Nyuma y'intambara ya Maipu (intambara ikomeye mu ntambara yo kwigenga ya Chili) mu 1818, yabaye umurwa mukuru.

Yateye imbere byihuse nyuma yo kuvumbura ibirombe bya feza mu kinyejana cya cumi n'icyenda. Kuva icyo gihe, yangijwe kenshi n’ibiza byibasiwe n’umutingito n’umwuzure, kandi inyubako z’amateka zarazimiye. Uyu munsi San Diego yabaye umujyi ugezweho. Igishushanyo mbonera cy'umujyi ni cyiza kandi gifite amabara. Imikindo izunguruka umwaka wose. Umusozi wa Santa Lucia ufite uburebure bwa metero 230 hafi yumujyi rwagati ni ahantu nyaburanga hazwi. Mu majyaruguru y’amajyaruguru y’umujyi, hari umusozi wa San Cristobal ufite ubutumburuke bwa metero 1.000 Igishusho kinini cya marimari ya Bikira Mariya cyubatswe hejuru y’umusozi, kikaba ari ikintu gikurura abantu cyane.

Umuhanda munini wa San Diego, O'Higgins Avenue, ufite uburebure bwa kilometero 3 na metero 100 z'ubugari, kandi unyura mu mujyi. Hano hari ibiti kumpande zombi z'umuhanda, kandi hariho isoko kandi ifite ishusho ishimishije yibishushanyo bikozwe mu muringa buri kure cyane. Hano hari Liberation Square kuruhande rwiburengerazuba bwumuhanda, Syntagma Square hafi, na Bagdano Square kuruhande rwiburasirazuba bwumuhanda. Hano mu mujyi rwagati hari ingabo zintwaro. Hano hari Kiliziya Gatolika, kiliziya nkuru, ibiro by’iposita, na salle yumujyi mu mijyi n’umujyi; N'inzibutso. Hafi ya 54% yinganda zigihugu zibanda hano. Inkombe zuhira imisozi n'amazi ya Andean, kandi ubuhinzi bwateye imbere.Ni ikigo cy’igihugu gishinzwe gutwara abantu n'ibintu mu kirere.
