'''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. | '''Transport in Chile''' is mostly by road.
