According to family reports, your statement is true.
They also reported Chile is super, super clean. This is one of the many leftovers from Pinchots strictness and his heavy hand. No throwing trash on the ground as found in other Latin countries, which is my only big gripe about Panama.
The Panamanian educated class doesnt like it either. But what can one do when the uneducated class does not respect cleanliness once they are outside their homes and yards, which they keep clean?
I would LOVE to visit Chile.
Maybe someday I will.

But all trips to whatever country is a learning experience. Just dont think of it as a vacation and you will do just great.
With that in mind, all trips turn into positive experiences when one leaves expectations at home. Anything that goes wrong makes for wonderful and amusing stories back home.
Just do a lot of reading before the trip to learn the history, etc., and relax and enjoy.
