They're more cultured and intellectual -- what a nice contrast. They have probably have more college-educated people, and what you describe would be the result. Also some countries have more of a Caribbean influence, and Mexico is very heavily influenced by the US, sadly. Chile and other southern South American countries are farther removed from the US geographically and culturally, as well as being separate from other SA countries by the Andes and the Amazon basin. This may have fostered the creation of their own unique cultures. What do others think?<br><b>References : </b><br> Ah! They're more cultured and intellectual — what a nice contrast.

The population is mostly of European ancestry. The Indians were killed off rather quickly, and there were only a few slaves. Historically, they've been the most prosperous of Latin American countries. As such they attracted large numbers of European immigrants, who brought their own culture. What we think of as Latino culture is mix of Spanish and Indian cultures. The Swiss looking towns you saw were probably inhabited by Swiss or German immigrants and their descendants.<br><b>References : </b><br> Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, the Southern Cone, are demographically different from most of Latin America.
