The apparent mispeeling "Antartica" occurs in a Spanish phrase. Is it correct? -phma

"Antartica" is correct in Spanish. See [1] for an example.

Pisco sour is peruvian. There was a sentence wich said:"....pisco sour (the national drink)". That's a fake. Anyway, if you don't believe me. Please go to www.es.wikipedia.org and you'll sea. Please don't confuse people. Pisco sour is PERUVIAN.

Actually, I believe there is a version of pisco sour for both Peru and Chile, both being slightly different. This came from a a resident of Santiago. Also, Wiki even makes a mention of this (very clearly): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisco_sour

In reality, the term "Pisco" was internationally trade-marked by Chile, so legally pisco is chilean. It is also made in Peru, but they don´t own the patent. There is no need to type in CAPS, when the law is on your side! —The preceding comment was added by 200.126.125.66 (talk • contribs)

Pisco is Chilean by trademark, Pisco Sour is a Peruvian cocktail, in which pisco is one ingredient. Please sign your posts, so it's clear who is writing what. --Peter Talk 00:38, 26 July 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Cities and Other Destinations

Help! I have almost finished a regional map for Chile. The geography makes this an incredibly tough map to get right. There is barely enough space to show roads, let alone place names. Can somebody who knows Chile (that certainly is not me) weed down the mass of cities and other destinations listed in the article to a sensible list of a maximum 9 of each please. I will then try to show all of them on the map. To get the ball rolling, it would seem to me these are must haves:

  • Cities:
  • Santiago
  • Concepcion
  • Puenta Arenas
  • Antofagasta
  • Valparaiso
  • Arica
  • Puerto Montt
  • Other Destinations:
  • Easter Island
  • Torres del Paine National Park
  • Villarrica

I have uploaded the map. Once there is a sensible list of cities and other destinations I will add them all. I hope we have a Wikitraveller who knows Chile well to help with this. The article has clearly been very unloved. Did not even have an undersand section. --Burmesedays 10:05, 16 January 2010 (EST)
