Introducing Talca
Talca folk are fond of repeating a phrase coined in their town, Talca, Paris y Londres. While that slightly over-hypes the Chilean city, this is a worthwhile place to visit. It has thriving universities, so there is a lot going on during term-time. But this is also wine country, and nearby viticulturists are now catering to a steady stream of booze- and food-loving gringos. Talca is also of historical as well as culinary significance - Chile's 1818 declaration of independence was signed here. Beyond the city boundaries, there are some breathtaking under-explored trekking possibilities in the nearby Reserva Nacional Altos de Lircay.
