Since I travellled through Chile from north to south two years ago, that was not a trap I did not walk into. And even before that I had a clear mental picture of Chile. Roughly, you can divide Chile into five sections, not all of the same size: Sur Grande, Sur Chico, Central, Norte Chico, Norte Grande. Sur Grande is basically the area that extends south from Puerto Montt (not including the islands of Chiloé), and this is a quite a wild area where the distance from the mountains to the sea is very short. And if you exclude Sur Grande, Santiago is rather south of the middle line. If you also exlucde Norte Grande (which was not in Chile before 1884), Santiago is in the middle. However, while I have travelled in both Chile and Argentina, it is not always easy to tell exactly what is on the other side due east/west from where you are. The only reason you would how the two are located in relation to each other is because you have looked it up before. |
