[Chile] Maravillas Naturales de Chile (Chilean Natural Wonders)
complete
A.I. Diagiamini
Chile is a long, diverse country spanning 10 different climate zones, and has a little bit of everything when it comes to natural eye candy. I know it's tough to pick only six items for a premium, country-exclusive set worth 100 coins, so here goes nothing.
* La Portada, a natural rock arch north of Antofagasta.
* Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), the closest to outer space our planet can offer from an aesthetic perspective.
* Cordillera de los Andes (Andes Mountains), the country's eastern border par excellence.
* Viñedos del Valle Central (Central Valley Vineyards), where the finest Chilean wines are born and bred.
* Salto del Laja, the nation's most famous waterfall.
* Araucaria Araucana, the Chilean national tree plus a symbol of veneration in Mapuche culture.

I love the idea of a set of Chilean Natural Wonders! I agree that it is so tough to pick only six, but I commend you for such a great start.
To add my 2 cents, I think the Andes Mountain Range would not be so appropriate for a country-exclusive set, since it is not exclusive to Chile, and in my opinion, too large and full of remarkable places to be summed up in only one stamp.
I think the better choice would be to pick one among the many beautiful Andean peaks found in our country, in which case I would suggest the majestic Torres del Paine.

zindo: I picked the Andes Mountains for a reason. Before air travel became commonplace, the only way to reach Chile if you came from anywhere beyond the Andean Range was either by ship or crossing the mountains through whatever means were available back then. It's also a symbol of how Chilean culture developed in isolation from the rest of Latin America until very recently.
