A Chunk of Chile with a Dash of South America

Living and travelling in South America from our base in Chile since 1997. I have personally experienced the extremes here, living in a shed without a bathroom in a poor dangerous part of town to the other extreme of having an elegant dinner with the President at the palace. This blog is about things that I have done or that have caught my attention here as well as travel information that may be useful.

Typical Chilean Houses

If you are interesting in learning about the typical architecture of houses in Chile, then you may just want to look at the following video I took near San Javier in the South of Chile.



The video is a little bouncy since it was taken from a normal camera as I was walking along the road, hence the up and down movement of every step. At least it shows you the real Chile.

You will notice that adobe walls and tiled roofs are a common characteristic of houses, especially in rural areas.

These houses are just before the San Javier off-ramp to the left as you are heading south along Route 5 (Pan-American Highway). San Javier is about 275kms south of Santiago.
