What is Special About Vina Del Mar Chile?

Hey wutzup, lately I've been interested in Chili due to the fascinating combination of surfing and snowboarding.   I learned some really cool stuff about a popular beach town called Vina Del Mar that I wanted to share with you.   

What makes this Vina Del Mar town unique is the music festival that is held every February. Starting in 1960 it might just be the oldest and largest musical festival in Latin America.   What makes the music festival unique is just how brutal the crowd can get. The audience is named  "The Monster." Booing someone off the stage isn't uncommon.   

Getting accepted by the crowd can improve an artist's popularity with the rest of Latin America. There are 3 awards that are given out at the festival. There is a Silver Torch, Golden Torch, and Silver Seagull.  If an artist gains all 3 awards it's called they "tamed the monster" the monster being the crowd and gains instant recognition as a major star by the media.  

Another thing that makes this town unique is how close it is to the capital city of Santiago at around a 2-hour drive.   It's around a 3-hour car drive to various ski resorts. Being close to both surfing and skiing is very cool. I really love both activities. 

Even though I've been surfing for years and I'm not that good, it's fun!   What makes the country of Chile unique is it's the longest and skinniest country in the world. The country was formed from natural geography and military conquest.   

When Chile become independent from Spain on September 18 1810 it was a very small country. Only during the War of the Pacific in the 1880s when it fought Peru and Bolivia did it grow to the size it is today making the country of Bolivia landlocked and snatching up Peru's southern tip.   The last point is Chile has a very strong economy, and might be one of the strongest in Latin America.
