Chile is famous for its natural beauty—the breathtaking mountain views, inaccessible glaciers, and rugged coast. However, it owes its charm above all to its people: so Latin American, yet so different from any Latino stereotypes.

Today, traditional Chilean values are being questioned by the younger generation. In fact, the country's position as the Latin American stronghold of Catholicism is being challenged by Chileans of all generations, and pressure has led to unprecedented changes in family and censorship law. Chile is also one of the fastest-growing economies in South America, and thanks to ambitious structural reforms, has sharply reduced its poverty rate in the past few years.
