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.

For all you surfers and beach lovers out there…

The Pichilemu International Surf Championship 2010 (Campeonato Internacional de Surf Pichilemu 2010) will be held over the next days, specifically the 8th and 9th of January with the closing ceremony on Sunday 10th when the $3.5 million pesos in prizes will be given out. The championship open to both men and women will be at the Infiernillo, Punta de Lobos and La Puntilla sectors of Pichilemu.

During the championship there will be various other activities happening at the same time including a fashion show with well-known national models and a cultural fair with around 70 stands including local handicraft and gastronomy.

We'll be there this weekend so will post some photos / videos later on.
