Chillan, Chile is 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 great prices. The ski area deserves special comment. It
is about a 1 1/2 hour drive East from Chillan and it features hot mineral
baths, saunas and other ways to relax. They are great to have handy because
it's excellent 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.
They have all the snow ski type stuff, bars, restaurants and of course
beds. |
