Chile Vacation - What you should knowAuthor: Kristine ReevesWhen it is Chile, it is natural to think of the Torres Del Paine, San Pedro de Atacama and Easter Island. However, there is more to Chile in the form of a lot of skiing and cruising opportunities that a visitor must make the best of and that is being explained in greater detail below. Chile is home to some of the finest ski slopes and the best part about this experience is that families can combine a reasonable skiing experience with the thrill of a vibrant night life, all within close proximity to the capital city Santiago. For the professionally inclined skiing enthusiast, the slopes of Portillo are a great alternative to go skiing amongst the Andes Mountains. Other facets of Chile It is very difficult to comprehend a country by just reading about it or perusing the tourist guide. Even visiting a particular country is not enough and you need to actually spend time with the locals to understand the conventions and practices they follow for you to enjoy the true flavor of the country. These personal discussions you have with the locals enable you to get a lot of interesting tidbits that you would never have got while just visiting the country as a tourist through a package tour. Some of these tidbits about Chile are mentioned as under: 1. Heating System The average Chilean uses kerosene in their "Estufas" to provide them the heating comfort. Though many households do have the facility of central heating, these estufas are used quite frequently in many houses despite the obnoxious smell they emanate when turned on. Chileans also use a gas referred to as Calefont to heat water and though this is not considered eco friendly, it is still preferred over traditional heating systems. 2. Bread The ubiquitous bread is the most common food item in Chile, but they prefer to have the Hallulla and Marraqueta, as they call the bread with toppings and this Marraqueta is a great favorite. They do eat a lot of this bread in a day; almost half a dozen and the toppings are generally butter, scrambled eggs, pate and jam. However, they ensure that they complement this diet with a healthy fruit like the avocado, which they consume with salt and oil in a smashed condition. This combination of bread and avocado seems to be a favorite with many Chileans. There are many other facets to this exciting tourist location which will be covered in some other article in the future.
