Chile is internationally known for its wines, one of the most well-known being Casillero del Diablo (The Devil's Closet) and the Carmenere, which was actually thought to be extinguished until it was re-discovered in Chile.
[[wikipedia:Don Francisco (television host)|Don Francisco]], known for hosting [https://web.archive.org/web/20110223013322/http://www.univision.com//content//channel.jhtml?chid=6&schid=6761 Sabado Gigante] and "Don Francisco Presenta", was born in Talca, Chile. The show started on Canal 13 on 1962.

And finally, Chile is one of the most seismic countries in the world, constantly hit by earthquakes (3 to 4 Richter scale so common they are '''nothing''' to the Chilean people). History records show to expect a big one each 10-15 years. The Biggest Earthquake recorded in the History of Recording Earthquakes is the [[wikipedia:1960 Valdivia earthquake|Great Chilean Earthquake]], with a subsequent Tsunami. The most recent one is [[wikipedia:2010 Chile earthquake|the 2010 Chile earthquake]], which made up for its lateness with a literal [[8.8]] in the Richter Scale. Timing and magnitude had caused this to be compared with the Haiti earthquake of 2010. Structures and buildings upheld better in the Chilean case.
