Not something that is normally shared here. However, while checking out some stuff on Intranet, I came across some fun facts about Chile. So sharing them in a shortened form: 1. Chile is such a long country that if we take continental Chile and move it to Europe, one can go from Finland to Libya. 2. If one is at the beach in Chile, one can go to the ski centers in 3 hours at 3.000 meters of altitude, and if one is Skiing in Punta Arenas, one can see the Pacific Ocean. 3. In Chile, one can find excellent wines at a low cost. 4. Chile’s a High tech country. A normal house internet connection in Santiago de Chile is about 400MGb, and everyone has a smartphone or more than one . Something interesting and well a bit of knowledge too !

Interesting to read about your country. I recently read this as well.. Chile is one of few countries in the world with a government-backed UFO research facility.

@marguicha That makes Chile geographically interesting. Given time and money, Chile, Argentina and Brazil along with Peru (Aztecs/Incas historical angle) are the places I would visit !! Plus there is an unverified historical Mythological Legends relating many people in South America to thd historical Naga Tribes living in India.
