I'm traveling to Southern Chile's Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas regions, and I'd like to bring back some quality Chilean gifts for family and friends.
Handicrafts are a good starting point for authentic regional Chilean gifts.
In the south of Chile, you'll find the wool products are white, black and shades of gray. Traditionally, the dyes are made from local stones, soil and sand, which is why the colors are limited to dark shades of earth tones. In some instances, you might be lucky enough to see the artisans at work. Chileans, like the French and Italians, regularly drink wine with their meals. The red is more widely available, and better, than the white.
