If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 35 miles away, Chillan is worth getting in the car for. Nevados de Chillan, Mercado de Chillán and Museo Claudio Arrau alone make the drive out worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Talca, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Plaza de Armas. (But we’d also highly recommend Museo O’Higginiano and Plaza Victoria.)
