Chillán Travel Guide

 VeronicaG Says:  The spa at the Gran Hotel was a thing of wonder! Many services were offered and the treatment was first class! Over the four days we lodged at the hotel, I scheduled a French manicure; a 60 minute facial and a 80 minute massage with reflexology. Never have I felt so pampered... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Aquaerobics were given each afternoon in the thermal waters. The depth was up to my neck, so exercising in the water made it challenging for me to stay on my feet. However, it was an invigorating activity! The waters varied each day in temperature, but at one point the... 

 VeronicaG Says:  One evening a group of us walked a short distance with guides to the golf course, where a telescope was set up to view the heavens. The sky was clear, so that a myriad number of stars could be seen strewn across the universe. I can?t remember a time when so many stars were... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Each day an oxigenation walk was given by guides who would discuss various plants, flowers, trees and creatures of nature as we followed the trails near our hotel. Although our family would walk the trails each day after breakfast, the guided walk took us further to the... 

 VeronicaG Says:  I was amused to find Flamenco lessons available at the hotel, so I had to look into them. There were only six of us wanting to get a sample of this dance. Our instructor oozed sensuality at she guided us expertly through a pattern of steps to lively music. It was a great... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Each morning at 9:15 am Yoga classes were given at the hotel. Our instructor was Maria, who had studied yoga for ten years. We began with stretching, then were shown various positions in Yoga. We each had mats on which to sit or lie upon. The exercises were wonderfully... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Those who desired to go to Valle Hermoso gathered at the reception desk, then boarded a bus provided by the hotel. We drove a short distance (10 minutes) to a public thermal springs where our guide told us a little about the plants and trees in the area.Araucario Araucana, a... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Our hotel provided a sheet of activities available for each day. On our third day, a walk to Gruta los Pangues was scheduled, which began at our hotel and continued down the hill for about 1 1/2 miles. It was a dusty walk, as passing vehicles churned up clouds of dust that... 

 Maillekeul Says:  It's not just a school, it's also a local where the walls of the library inside have been completely painted by 2 famous local artists : Xavier Guerrero and David Alfaro Siquieros...Ce n'est pas qu'une ecole, c'est aussi un lieu dans lequel 2 artistes locaux, Xavier Guerrero... 

 Upward Says:  A large group of us rented a cabin that was about 15 minutes away from Volcan Chillan. This cabin easily fit about 10 of us and it was so cozy and warm. If you happen to have a group, renting a cabin is the best way to go. 

 barryg23 Says:  Fuente Alemana is a good value restaurant/cafe in the centre of town. We ate breakfast here one morning, and lunch on a different day, and on both days the food was fine, the service fast & efficient, and the prices were good. They offer many good value lunch deals such as... 

 VeronicaG Says:  Bountiful buffets were part of our hotel package at Termas de Chillan. Each meal was preceded by a buffet of some type for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our table was the same one each day with the same waiter, as well. Beverages were extra and not included with the price.The...

 Upward Says:  If you take good advice and rent a cabin while staying in Chillan, it will more than likely have a bbq pit to cook on. Everything that you need to prepare a meal for a dozen costs about $3 per person. I suppose I was made the grill master because (I'm from New Orleans)?...
