Note: Certification of an interlocutory decision by a trial court allows an appellate court to review the decision and to answer a controlling question of law. Certification is often used in state courts as well as federal courts and, where available, allows a federal court to refer a question of state law to the state's highest court. Certification is also used to refer to a judge's order that allows a suit to be maintained as a class action.

The Andes run all the way through Chile from top to toe, but many people use Chileâs capital Santiago as a handy jumping-off point. Santiago is only at an altitude of 520 metres so it certainly shouldnât cause you any problems with altitude sickness. Itâs higher up than New York at around 10 meters and London at 9 meters, but travellers from Canberra - at 571 metres - will actually be lower in Santiago than back at home.
