Local dining tips

When dining in Chile, don't be afraid to try new dishes like pastel de choclo (corn pie) or the classic completo (Chilean hot dog with all the toppings).

And if you find yourself in the coastal town of Zapallar, don't miss the opportunity to indulge in fresh seafood at one of the charming beachfront restaurants.
