Chile blogs

The thin strip of Chile is not only recognizable by its unique shape on the world map but also by its extensive cultural resonance which permeates throughout the globe. Few Latin American countries enjoy the prosperity which Chile is known for, and its human history dates back almost to the origins of civilization. Relics from this ancient past can be seen today, and along with its striking geology and political stability (after a long period of unrest,) Chile is a much-loved hotspot for global tourism. In an effort to showcase both the positives and negatives of living in the country, the team has zoned in on the best Chilean blogs out there which not only serve as excellent sites individually but give us an authentic portrait of the country when taken as a whole.
