10 ESSENTIAL Things To Know Before You Go To Chile

Recently I spent some time in Chile with some great people. It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life. These tips are made from what I observed, and what friends who have lived there long term were able to come up with. These are necessary to know before you head down there, however very easy to follow.

    Chileans are also very friendly! If you need to get directions or recommendations or just company, most Chileans will be willing to try communicating with you. Also, don't be afraid to reach out! English is becoming pretty popular, so finding someone who speaks English should be easy. Great video!

    i was in chile one month ago. but i,m going to tell that chile is my homeland, currently i live in spain for approximately 23 years, in general is easy to move from one place to another from north to south due to there are low cost fight or domestic flight, so if you are planning to stay for a short period of time moving by plane could be a good option, i,m going to give one important advice never change your currency inside the airport, its better rates in the city center, but credit card are widely acccepted everywhere, best regards to every one.

    As a gringo, I'd say Chilean Spanish was the hardest to understand for me. I lived in Santiago for three years and got used to it but it was really hard to understand at first. All the "Ja po, si po, cachai" was really confusing. It sounded like a totally different language. I haven't had as much problems with Dominican and Cuban Spanish. Did you go to Punta Cana? That seemed to be a very popular vacation destination with my co-workers. The easiest Spanish for me to understand is Colombian and Peruvian.

    Fly! Trips that are too long will not be comfortable. The only good reason to do that is that you absolutely don't want to do anything in between and you had no time to book a domestic flight. Assuming you don't wanna visit anything in between you could book a domestic flight to Arica and take a bus there to La Paz but there you'd have to compare between the international flight straight to La Paz and the domestic flight. Really you don't wanna spend a day or two on a bus.

  • @prime8nate

    That would take forever. It would be at least two days and you'd want a sleeper bus. Break up the journey by stopping at places in between. Better yet, fly, although be ready to start gasping for air when you get off the plane....La Paz has seriously thin air. The crazy bike ride from up above La Paz down to the jungle below was unforgettable. Don't miss it but dress for all sorts of weather. Lake Titicaca is great, too, although I had trouble sleeping because the air was so thin. Might have been better to give myself more time to get used to the altitude.

    My wife got whistled at a bit and some men would yell "Chinita" at her (she's Japanese ancestry) but that was the extent of it. We lived in Santiago for three years. If you have a basic understanding of which parts of Santiago, Valpo, etc. are safe and which aren't it's not especially bad. Not many companies are going to compare favorably with Sweden in this regard.

    @@prime8nate The only problem here in sweden is The shootings in The capital (gettos) like tensta and rinkeby. I live on The West side of the country. Now about Chile, valpo has 2 terrible gettos like Puerta negras and montenique and thats enough problems for turism in my eyes. You wanna live There go ahead. I give props to anyone Who can build a life and future in a corrupt Chile. I have lived in sweden over 30 years and its The safest place here in scandinavia with norway.

    I am Chilean. At the moment, I lives in Australia at least for 7 years. I known that Chile has some problems, however this video said something about people put drugs in the glass... should be, but is rare... also, you said that people maybe stole … maybe...well for your information this happenes around the world.... I live in Australia and one year ago someone stole my house, as well as the level of drugs is higher... adolescents who used drugs and alcohol is terrible.... So please, before making comments, look for information from other countries..... I travel every year to Chile and never I have problems. No body stole my ring, which is expensive or my handback.... @@bastian_anibal
