Review:
Earthquake-battered Chillan is in a near constant state of rebuilding. Consequently, it’s one of Chile’s most modern cities. Highlights include the modern St. Charles Borromeo Cathedral and its 36-meter-tall cross, Plaza de Armas, Arauco pedestrian promenade, the famous Market of Chillán, the handicraft market, and the Siqueiros murals. Chillán is a hub for exploring the beauty of Central Chile outside the city as well. The Chillán Hot Springs, Las Trancas Valley, and Pangue Cave are great for outdoor exploring. During winter, visitors make their ways to Las Tres Marías, Chile’s longest ski trails, and during summer, Shangri-La Ecopark provides the entertainment. Map
