+ Pensant Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I last visited Chile in 1991, right after the Capitán-General relinquished power. Drove to Puerto Montt, the gateway to Patagonia. I was struck at how much it looked like the PNW down south. Pristine cities, like Valdivia, full of dairy farms and Germanic architecture. I’d love to return. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenic backdrop to all three cities would do that, irrespective of the cityscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
