Who are we?

www.southamerica.cl

We are NOT a travel agency and we do not sell any tours or anything.

Mission Statement

To nurture the open sharing of information about South America and its countries - including travel guides, personal experiences and cultural characteristics - for the benefit of international understanding.

Our Objectives

Our goal at southamerica.cl is to provide people with information about the countries of South America so that they can enrich their experience while traveling here, living here, or for their own general knowledge.

We strive to create a holistic view of each country, providing people with as many resources as possible so that they may enjoy all of the unique opportunities that South America has to offer. In doing so, we will help not only those adventurers coming to South America but also the people living here, providing an exchange of information and helping to promote their unique cultures and lifestyles.

We are strongly based on the principals of education and find that we can always learn more from each other. It is for this reason that we are adamant about the need for communication, not only through our language programs but also our dedication to continually share our knowledge and experiences of South America.

Come be a part of southamerica.cl and immerse yourself in all that this thriving continent has to offer.

But who are we?

My name is Rob Woodward and I am a New Zealander who lived in Chile from 1997 to 2018. Yes, 21 years!

I used Santiago (Chile) as my home base in South America which is why you will find a lot more information about this long thin country than others.

I have been married to Angélica Prieto, a wonderful Chilean lady, since 2002 (which is one of the reasons I have been here so long) and we have two sons that were born in Chile.

In 2018 Ange and I went to New Zealand to allow our boys to experience this side of their heritage. That is why we no longer update this website.

We are very thankful for the numerous people that have helped us provide up-to-date information for our site as well as let us use their photos.

Now we are dedicated to helping people learn English and Spanish (ok and other languages) via our websites and on YouTube. You will see some more travel information appearing on our brand new website www.wooodwardculture.com over the next months.

This site was something we do when we get some free time.

Have an awesome day!!!

Rob and Ange.
