description below.
A sleepy, dusty agricultural town about 280 miles south of Santiago
on the Panamericana like everything else. It's claim to fame is Las Termas,
a mineral bath and ski resort about 40 miles away. It is the birthplace
of Bernardo O'Higgins, liberator of Chile and good buddy of San Martin,
of course they're both dead but there is a very nice park there in his
honor. Chillan has one of Chile's largest tourist flea markets where you
can buy all manner of tourist stuff at not so bad prices. The ski area
deserves special comment. It is about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Chillan and
it features hot mineral baths, saunas and other ways to relax of ways to
relax. They are great to have handy because it's ski slopes can certainly
give you a workout. There is a large hotel/resort as well as smaller resorts,
to fit any budget and taste. Theyhaveall the snow ski type stuff, bars,
restaurants and of course beds. |
