My ship is in Punta Arenas, which is down at the tip of S.A. My wife and I built a house in Pucon , which is about 600 miles south of Santiago in the lakes district. Love the USA but this aint bad.
First pool for us. Just a small 3.5m x 7.5m concrete inground. Trying to get all the pointers I can while under construction. The climate here is similar to central California . But it's never to early to start learning how best to take care of it.
