'''Transport in Chile''' is mostly by road. The far south of the country is not directly connected to central [[Chile]] by road without travelling through [[Argentina]], and water transport also plays a part there.  The railways were historically important in Chile, but now play a relatively small part in the country's transport system.  Because of the country's geography and long distances between major cities, aviation is also important.
