The 19th World Jamboree (Spanish: 19º Jamboree Scout Mundial) in Chile, the first ever in South America, took place at a 7,400-acre (30 km2) site (Hacienda Picarquín) in the foothills of the Andes, some 38 miles (61 km) south of the capital city of Santiago.

[1] The Jamboree started with a drought, prompting water to be diverted from the City of Rancagua, with sailing activities proving difficult owing to the lack of proper water bodies on Picarquín.

The Jamboree sported the third Global Development Village program and was opened by Chilean president Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle.

A daily newspaper, el Talí, was produced for the camp.

The program included full days of patrol activities.
