It is a safe place for me living off grid. I have lived in Chile for over 10 years off grid growing our own food and raising our animals. Freer safer and cleaner than most anywhere else on the planet. Jim

I have lived in the Valle Del Elqui for 5 years now and the only problems have been when I lived near a town. Like you say, there are economic problems in Chile and a lot of problems with drugs which leads to theft. Away from towns and cities, life is peaceful, the local people are very welcoming and very helpful. Speaking basic Spanish ( even badly ) makes things easier, and in my case being married to a Chilena helps when I don’t understand everything 100%. Good luck with the development of the property and your future in Chile.

You should not let your 3 year old roam your land alone. Pumas eat kids here. They are not little kitties they weigh 70kg and they are up in your area too. Be careful and make sure that your son has a dog with him all the time. The Puma will eat the dog first. Jim

You don't need to free range the chickens, just give them a compost system and they'll produce eggs of the same quality. Alternatively you can build a chicken coop on wheels and move it around with electric fencing. I'd recommend the same with pigs if you get some, forest is perfect for them.

Hi, I am thinking about new life too, but I would like to live near the sea/ocean, are you far from ocean? If you are in south part it looks like its very close.

The question I will ask is provocative. I am Brazilian. Why does a person, living in a first world country, having access to comfort, infrastructure, health, move to a region that is always problematic, politically unstable, like South America? You have lots of amazing and cheap places in Europe.

@@MichaelWatson-oz5ne I got back from Italy last week. I have an Italian passport, but I'm Brazilian. I confess that I envy the quality of life that can be had in small cities in Europe, mainly in Italy. I don't consider Brazil an extremely violent country, but in Europe peace is greater. My idea is to be able to work remotely and have properties that generate income.
