Chile
Chile is one of the 193 UN member states, in South America. UN Tourism counted 5.4 million international arrivals there in 2019, more visited than 67% of the 199 places with figures, so its stamp in Globestamp is printed in Colour-shift.

The Chile stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Chile’s is Colour-shift: one colour straight on, another at an angle, the finish for places with 2 to 6 million visitors a year. With 5.4 million international arrivals in 2019, Chile is more visited than 67% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Chile
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Chile when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Places in Chile you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Chile, from 6 World Heritage Sites to 86 volcanoes.

How many tourists visit Chile a year?
UN Tourism (via the World Bank) counted 5,431,000 international arrivals in Chile in 2019, the 66th most of the 199 places with figures. Countries count arrivals in different ways (some include day-trippers and cruise passengers), so treat it as a rough rank rather than an exact number of tourists.
How rare is a Chile stamp in Globestamp?
It is printed in Colour-shift, the finish for places with 2 to 6 million visitors a year, rarer than 33% of the places with figures. The fewer travelers a place receives, the rarer its finish, from plain Ink to Mythic.
