  2. Here in Pichilemu, the damage is relatively minor but other villages and towns are in dire need of help. If you would like to find out how you can help, please go to http://www.studyspanishchile.com. One good way to help the Chilean economy is to come here for a vacation. Santiago is fine and Pichilemu is fine. There is nothing to fear and no reason not to come. Here in Pichilemu the banks are open, the stores are open with plenty of food, there are plenty of restaurants and hotels and cabanas. We've had no looting, no gun fire, and no civil disobedience. Some of the world's best surf can be found in Pichilemu's Principal Beach and at Punta de Lobos. Chile is a beautiful country and the people are sweet natured and kind hearted and affectionate. And, they are not offended if your Spanish is weak, like mine is. Tourists and surfers can help Chile while having a wonderful vacation and surfing fabulous surf!
    Thanks for your continued interest and for your support during Chile's time of need,
    Geree
