Chillan Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We tried to drive further south today, but our late start from Talca (not our fault of course), meant we had to stop over in Chillan for the night. It sounded interesting in the Lonely Planet, but really didn´t tickle our funny bones at all. Interestingly the weather is getting WARMER and SUNNIER as we head south??!! Chillan is mainly famous for...

Chillan was the birth place of Chile´s fascinatingly-named national hero Bernardo O´Higgins - El Liberatador, no less. There´s a museum in Chillan about that kind of stuff so if you´re interested you should definitely go. Unfettered by any such interest in the history or culture of Chile, Sarah and I arrived in Chillan with the express purpose o...

So, with my random amigo, we turned up in this town at dusk, found a really run down hostel, and...

We drove in to Chillan on a pretty showery day and the town didnt look to hot, so we headed for our hostel . Luckily it provided supper- (Roast chicken , potatoes and veg - what luxury!! ) which was great as we werent to fussed at searching this town for somewhere to eat plus it was still raining. Dreams were also slashed , of seeing Chilie's bi...

We spent Christmas with my aunt who lives in the country just outside of Chillan. When I say country, I mean country-country. After having spent less than a week there, I think I now understand the true meaning of "Modern". "Modern" means: - Running water, let alone hot water - Not having to cook with a woodfire oven in 30 degree heat - Having a...
