Here in the states, they are not too difficult to find.
In Chile? Who knows.

Shipping would be problematic. I don't know how they are
shipped to the glass installer shop, but if it is in a
crate, they could just re-label it for shipment to you.
But I'd think the cost (for big, bulky, heavy item) would
be expensive.

How about this: get it to the point where you can drive it,
then take a tip to the nearest big city, where you may have
a better chance of finding a shop to 1) order the windshield
for you, and 2) install it for you. Of course, telephone ahead
to find a shop that can do it.

A long ride to a good shop may be cheaper than a long shipment
from an unknown supplier and taking the chance that people who
have never installed one before break your new windshield
while learning how to install it.

HTH.
