It may sound strange, but it's true.Because of it's curved horizontal shape and position, there is a Southern part of the country where to the East is the Pacific Ocean. The city of Santiago experiences this strange sounding phenomenon. And, in the city of Colon, they see the sun setting in the Atlantic Ocean.
