When it comes to special events, it seems the capital's favorite pastime is trade fairs. If you're a bibliophile, you might enjoy the Feria de Libro (Book Festival) in early November. Then there's the highly successful Expo Nuevo Mundo Rural, an exhibition of Chilean agricultural products. It shows everything from llama goods to the fruits of Middle Chile and the woolens of Tierra del Fuego. Burgeoning entrepreneurs shouldn't miss Santiago's biggest and longest-running event, the Feria Internacional de Santiago (Santiago International Fair).
