Choripán

Choripán is a typical Uruguayan sandwich, that is also popular in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and part of Brazil. The word choripan comes from the contraction of the words chorizo (sometimes nicknamed simply chori) and the word pan (bread). It is therefore a chorizo in bread in the manner of the famous hot dog.

Special Sights

Chile’s slender ribbon-like shape is cut in half by an even thinner ribbon of road: the 770-mile Carretera Austral. Also known as the Southern Highway or Highway 7, one might think this modern convenience would make traveling through the region easy, but the road runs the gamut from smooth pavement to huge potholes.
