In Antofagasta, a city on the north of Chile, there is an important community of Croatian immigrants.
Their presence can be seen among others in one of the three pavillions (Music Pavillion) errected in the central park of the city.
The music pavillion bears the inscription:

LA COLONIA SLAVA
DE ANTOFAGASTA
AL PUEBLO CHILEANO
EN COMMEMORACION CENTENARIO
1810 - 1910

However, it is clear from the above photo (a detail of the octagonal music pavillion), that La "COLONIA SLAVA" was in fact "LA COLONIA CROATA".
This can be seen from the Coat of Arms of the then Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia from 1910, which is a part of the pavillion.
For more details, see the following video:

One of important members of the Croatian community in Antofagasta, Chile, Pasko Baburizza (1875-1941, born on the island of Koločep near the city of Dubrovnik), in cooperation with Frano Petrinović, owned as many as 74 factories in Antofagasta, with 70,000 workers. He became one of the richest persons in Chile. He worked tirelessly until the end of his life (and died at the age of 67), without entertainment and luxurious life. He was helping his native island of Koločep in various ways, as well as to the famous city of Dubrovnik.
