Chile Travel Information


Chile Flag Chile (Spanish: República de Chile) is a country located on the southwestern coast of South America. The country is, for the most part, a long narrow strip that lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Andres mountains, although Chilean territory also includes a number of Pacific islands (Desventuradas, Easter Island, Juan Fernádez, and Salay y Gómez), and Chile has made claims to a portion of the Antarctic. The country's land borders are with Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru.

As of 2010, the country's population was estimated as being 17,063,000. The country's capital and largest city is Santiago which is home to nearly 5.3 million people in the city itself, and around 7.2 million in the total metropolitan area.

Chile has a modern and successful market-economy including a significant level of foreign trade. Although there have been occasional problems, for the most part, the country has sustained high levels of growth for many years. The basis for the country's economic success was laid by sound economic policies that have been consistently pursued for many years (these economic policies having been initially introduced during the period of military rule between 1973 and 1990), as well as high levels of domestic savings and investment, and free trade agreements with an increasing number of countries.

Product Description:
Although Castilian Spanish is the official language of Chile, this South American nation is known for having a great number of words and phrases that are distinct from other Spanish-speaking countries. In fact, the Spanish spoken in Chile is often indecipherable even to native speakers of Castilian Spanish. For example, only in Chile would you say: "Están cayendo los patos asados" (Roast ducks are falling) when the weather is hot. This dictionary and phrasebook prepares tourists, businesspeople, and anyone spending time in Chile for such idiosyncrasies.
  • Historical and cultural information on the Chilean "dialect"
  • An explanation of grammar and distinctive speech patterns
  • Useful sections on Anglicisms, food & dining, and travel
  • More than 1,500 Chilenismos words and expressions
