We are also looking forward to sharing our beautiful country with you! About Chile Santiago is a cosmopolitan city with a mix of modern skyscrapers and antique buildings against the back drop of the spectacular Andes Mountains. Santiago also serves as the gateway to beaches, ski resorts, the wine country and a great starting point from which to explore Chile further! Chile is a land of unforgettable contrasts - from immense deserts where land and sky melt together in an endless sepia tone horizon; to green and fertile valleys which produce quality fruits, vegetables, and wines that are enjoyed around the world; or the stunning lakes and volcanoes that form a dreamlike landscape; to the solemn beauty of the thousand year old ice fields, native forest and unique fauna of southern Chile. Come enjoy all that Chile has to offer – the land of breathtaking landscapes, colorful traditions and delightful local cuisine.

We’re
looking forward to welcoming you to the 15th International Congress of
the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, 4-7 May 2010.
“Sharing the World of Occupation* from Latin America” is the theme
that demonstrates the commitment of occupational therapy and
occupational therapists to the well-being of people of all over the
world from every walk of life. WFOT 2010 will focus on contemporary
perspectives in occupational therapy and occupational science. Many of
these perspectives emerge from the historical roots of international
practice while others reflect the thinking of current times. Congress
participants will participate in stimulating reflective dialogue about
their practice and personal contexts as well as the emerging evidence
which distinguishes Latin American practice.
