Charms of Chile 


By J. Herbert Silverman

Chile is a unique country extending more than 2,000 miles from north to south, where you can sail with a catamaran, touch a glacier, see a penguin bathe in thermal hot springs or simply look up into the night sky and see the Southern Cross.

Gateway to the Maule Valley that bears a resemblance to the Extramadura region of Western Spain is the charming conquistador town of Talca. A two hour drive from Santiago, this venerable city has excellent small hotels such as the quaint but modern Marcos Camero furnished with colonial antiques. It's a short walk from the Town Square - a mint example of the Spanish genre. 

Specials Interests
Ecotravel is a growing industry in Chile.  The National Wildlife Preserve System is among the world's best. 

Senior citixens, anxious for an adventurous but healthy vacation, can visit one  of the 33 health resorts and spas including El Corazon and Colina near Santiago.
 
Transportation
Comfortable modern buses serve all major cities with three classes. For a thrill unmatched even in Rome, try a car trip through the streets of Santiago.  But a great way to get around the capital, however, is by an expanding subway system. 
 
Must-See Attractions
One great attraction is La Recova Municipal market with its handicrafts such as lapis lazuli jewelry, alpaca wool knits and ceramics. The Mineralogical Museum is a reminder of the copper mining boom of the 19th century which had a sharp impact on Santiago's development. At the Palacio de la Mondea, seat for the presidency, the traditional change of the guard takes place daily. Contact your travel agent for more information on Chile.
