M. HERALD / J.WYSS/ Overview/
President Obama and his family arrived in Chile for a short stay after speaking in Brasilia, touring Rio's tourist sites, visiting a repatriated favela/slum and even kicking around a soccer/futbol.
His Santiago visit was met with a small protest of environmental groups and university organizations.
“I know I’m not the first president from the United States to pledge a new spirit of partnership with our Latin American neighbors,” he said. “Words are easy, and I know that there have been times where perhaps the United States took this region for granted.”
