Really Chile!

Before you head for the more famous parts of Chile, there are things you can do in the central part of the country as well. Fly to Santiago, see the largest swimming pool in the world in Algarrobo, avoid being robbed in Valparaiso, enjoy the street art of Concepcion, join the simple life on Chiloe, and look around Puerto Montt before you fly off. See below.

 

Habile Chile

Før du stikker av til de mer kjente delene i nord og sør i Chile, er det litt av hvert å se rundt landets midje også. Fly til Santiago, se verdens største svømmebasseng i Algarrobo, unngå å bli ranet i Valaparaiso, se gatekunsten i Concepcion, prøv det enkle liv på Chiloe, og se deg litt rundt i Puerto Montt før du flyr ut på eventyr. Det gjorde i hvert fall jeg.
