Hidden gems in Central Chile for introverted travellers

How to survive La Paz as an introvert
La Paz was my first stop in Bolivia, and man was it a change. Up until then, I had only been to Chile, which has the reputation of being one of the most European countries in South America. I’m not saying there are no cultural differences between Chile and Germany, of course, there are. But compared to Bolivia, Chile truly is very
