Rock Climbing in Chile
Maipo Valley - Chile
Just outside Santiago, the scenic Cajon del Maipo valley boasts several important and easily accessible sport climbing areas such as El Manzano. There are other accessible areas northwest of the capital city too, like Las Chilcas and Las Palestras.
Cochamo Valley - Chile
A Yosemite style valley near Puerto Montt, some pretty major granite faces here

Big serious routes on hundreds of famous peaks, including the Torres del Paine, Cuernos del Paine, Fortaleza and Escudo. There are no shortage of things to go for, but bad weather and iced up routes make this a bit more serious than just a cragging destination.
