Chile is a country of countless historically turbulent eras. The journey is to trace their culture created by the Chilean's spirit that finally achieved a capitalistic society after going through the Spanish colonial era, socialist regime of president Salvador Allende, Pinochet's military regime.
We paid a visit to the Chuquicamata copper mine to witness the biggest industry of the country. The largest trucks in the world become like toys in front of the grand precipices of the mine here. Seong Seok-je feels the ""power of Chile"" here again. We had an opportunity to watch the copper melting process at the mining company, Codelco, that turns enormous nature into resources.
