Host Family & Community

Most host families in Chile live in or near urban areas. Chileans tend to be very family-focused, and children are taught to have a strong respect for their parents. Check in with your parents before you make plans or decisions.

Language

Host families are generally in the French-speaking province of Quebec in rural areas, so with not a lot of public transportation, so communication with your family about your travel plans will be the key. Families are hospitable and close-knit, and they will welcome you as the newest member of the family. Remember that Canada has a multicultural population, and this is reflected by the hosting families, which can be culturally diverse. Each family will share their values and habits with great pride, pleasure and generosity.

Food

While breakfast is usually very light, lunch is the main meal of the day in Chile. It can include meat (beef, lamb, pork or chicken) or fish with rice or pasta and vegetables, soups and salads. In the afternoon, enjoy an onces: tea or coffee with bread and butter or marmalade and pastry. Some families have a late dinner, which includes similar foods as lunch. A variety of fruits is available throughout the year.
