I had the opportunity to interview one of the artists for my blog back in October near the Vergara Wharf on the Acapulco section of the beach. His name is Joao Villegas, a really cool nice guy. He was working on Alice in Wonderland's white rabbit the day I was there: http://marisalavalette.com/2012/01/07/our-friend-the-artist-joao-villegas-his-art-and-his-philosophy/ The author mentions the sand sculptors in Viña del Mar.

I happen to own a beach house in Algarrobo, which is my favorite place on Earth! Best time to visit is September-December and March-April, when it's warm but not crowded. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you are planning to visit our country! Great choices!…although limited only to central Chile. There’s many other places that rival the ones mentioned.

I believe you forgot to mention Cachagua and Zapallar. Ok, I know they are upper-class only (the queen of England came to Zapallar once) but in spite of that they are an absolute must if you want to know Chilean coast towns. Besides, Los Vilos and Punta de Choros are the towns to go surfing- with all the surfing tribe culture included. I partially agree with the list.

It's a major point of contention where I've been hanging out for the past months. Bolivia and Peru both lost a fair chunk of coast to Chile in the War of the Pacific back in 1880s. Still a sore point today. Good question, Kiersten! It’s a major point of contention where I’ve been hanging out for the past months.

Someday I'll make it to South America. And how did Chili manage to get so much of the coast line! Positively enchanting! Someday I’ll make it to South America.
