Stonewash rules the streets in Chile. They make everything out of the stuff, from mini-shorts to manpris (capris worn by men). You can outfit the entire family!
This should come with a disclaimer that before I left the States, I lived in Alaska. Maybe this is the hot new thing everywhere. If it is, great! You're all one step ahead.
Two: Eat Right
Chile does sandwiches right. There's nothing fancy about them- just pick your meat (beef, pork or chicken) and add any or all of the following: tomato, avocado, or mayonnaise. The most popular way to order is "completo" or "italiano" with all three. I've yet to get confirmation from an actual Chilean, but I suspect it's called that because the toppings look like an Italian flag. Clever.
We ate them everywhere from fast food shops to fancy restaurants. No matter where we went, the sandwiches were delicious.
Three: Drink Right
Carmenere is to Chile what Malbec is to Argentina. The grape only grows in Chile. It's been extinct in Europe for ages and they didn't realize that it survived in Chile until recently. Our winery guide was very proud when we purchased a bottle to take home. If only he knew what a help that bottle was during tax time.
