Join us and find some of the richest and most productive agriculture in the world plus a well preserved variety of culture, cuisine and art. When it’s snowing in the US Chile is exporting fruits, vegetables, wine and specialty crops. The well watered south of Chile offers excellent pasture for livestock and top growing conditions for flowers, ornamental plants and woodlands. Seafood is abundant along the coast and sheep, llamas and alpacas are happy in the Andes, and salmon are fattening in their coastal pens.
