Travels in Chile

Chiloe

 

Chile -

The Spine of South America



The view from Rio Nireguao in southern Chile

 

In March of 2004 I spent two weeks in Chile, experiencing some of the unique culture of the most prosperous country in South America. During my travels I spent time in the capital Santiago, the Lakes Region, the island of Chiloe and fished the Nireguao River in southern Chile.

Each region in Chile had its own unique characteristics and traditions. From Santiago, a city of 5 million and 1/3 of the country's population to Coyhaique, a small town in southern Chile, each area contained different options for the American traveler.Through this site I hope to give a sense of this beautiful country and maybe inspire some to experience Chile.
