Hello Adam -
Unfortunately, Chilean Sign Language is not one of the many sign  
languages we have written in SignWriting in SignPuddle Online, but you  
can visit SignPuddle to read signs from Paraguay and other sign  
languages in South America...

Does anyone know, here on the SignWriting List, any source of  
information on Chilean Sign Languages?

I think, Adam, you will need to wait and when you arrive in Chile,  
contact members of the Deaf Community there, or contact a local  
language school or university, to inquire about taking sign language  
classes...that is your best bet -

Val ;-)
