On our way South, we stopped at a little place right beside I-5 (which really goes clear down into Chile!) The waiter was very sweet and said we really had to try their Pastel de Choclo because it was the National Food of Chile (Chile has a lot of National things) and we couldn't visit Chile without trying Choclo. Apparently, Choclo is their own word for corn. The top was quite good and sweet and hot, but as you dug in, things went a bit downhill. There's a chicken bone sticking out of my dish. I ate some of the chicken, but it was kind of cold which was weird since the rest of the dish was hot. The deeper I dug, the weirder the food got and I finally just stopped eating it. I got a bit sick afterwards, but nothing too bad. It wouldn't be a fine diner on the side of I-5 if you didn't get sick! :)
We drove South past Chillan to these falls. They were beautiful!! I later found out that there were more falls there that we missed, but Jeff and I drove back up to Santiago that night because our flight was the next day.
