GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
English usage needs scrubbing. Multiple issues with WP:MOS compliance.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Don't know about original research since there are so many missing references.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Some statements about how Pichelemu is regarded which reference only primary sources.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
The captions actually need a little improvement ...
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Nice start but still needs work.

The article has a lot of good content but needs some work to reach GA. Biggest concerns:

The use of English is not good. Needs scrubbing by a native speaker. Apart from just the awkwardness of the phrasing some of it I cannot even understand.
Need lots more references. Many paragraphs have no references at all.
Some references are not of sufficient quality:
- Statements like "Its points and beaches are considered some of the best worldwide" should use good secondary sources (and really should specifically talk about those sources in the prose so as to not seem so biased).
- Overuse of Pichilemu tourism sites and web sites in general. Ideally should include some hard references (books) to give more credibility.
Need to cover more about the city as a city rather than a tourist attraction. What is the government like? What is the culture like (traditions, religion, etc.)? What is the climate like? Etc.
Lots of the content is just choppy, incidental comments. Many sections are one or two short sentences.

Hope this is helpful. If you need some help let me know.
