Chiguayante
South America is the fourth largest continent of the Western Hemisphere. It is divided politically into 12 independent countries namely Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela and the overseas department of French Guiana. The continent extends to 7,640 kilometers from Punta Gallinas, Colombia, in the north to Cape Horn, Chile, in the south. At its broadest point, near where it is crossed by the equator, the continent extends to 5,300 kilometers from east to west.
South America is connected to North America by the Isthmus of Panama. It is washed on the north by the Caribbean Sea, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Topographically the continent is divided into three sections namely the South American cordillera, the interior lowlands, and the continental shield. Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion and Portuguese and Spanish are the primary languages of the continent.
Chiguayante city is a place in the world that simply called as the copy of Eden. Even the National Anthem states the beauty of Chile, a country at the southern tip of the world. Not only that the city is special for the extreme geographical locations in it, but also for the contrast in culture. The landscapes around the city are awesome, with beautiful beaches on one side and snow-covered mountains only 200 kilometers away. Waterfalls and frozen lakes, volcanoes in the city make the tourists shiver every once in a while. The three-kilometer-wide river in the city seems to be still and hills with views span the whole width of the country.
Presently, Chiguayante experiences a sharp social, economic and population growth derivative of the strategic position of the locality and the high level of well-being and quality of life that is enjoyed with respect to other places of South America. Chiguayante, justifiably so, enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers, and is one of the most visited place.
