The rural settlers

Most Chilean shepherds and dwellers live in remote areas, isolated from the western world, a lifestyle long forgotten by the developed world. For most, horses are their only means of transportation, an animal that plays an important role in their daily lives. Especially for horse lovers, experiencing a visit to Chile from these people's viewpoint would be appealing.

For those truly interested in old-fashioned ways of life, avoiding all sorts of anthropological safaris, "shooting" people-images from cameras, the "Meet the People" approach becomes uncomplicated. However, don't be mislead by romanticism, if you think participating in Chilean cowboys' life is reminiscent of romantic evenings around a campfire enjoying mate, remember you may need to relinquish certain comforts.
