After my last blog, I had a few people tell me that they're very interested in visiting Chile! Yes! So, I’ve continued my research to provide some more info. Did you know that Chile covers 38 degrees of latitude? And, it also has every climate on Earth except for tropical. I love it! Chile is also home to the driest desert in the world; the Atacama.
Chilean rodeo is intriguing. It is a national sport in Chile. I’ve included a link to explain how one wins in the end. Basically, the Huaso (a skilled horseman) wins by pinning a steer against a huge padded wall. The culture around rodeo is big in Chile. The garb is very detailed and the national dance called the Cueca is performed on most occasions. I’m excited about checking this out!
Here is a list of links for anyone who is interested in making their way down there:
