¿Es un destino seguro?
4/5
Safest country in South America. Petty theft occurs in Santiago and Valparaíso. Earthquakes are frequent but infrastructure is well-prepared. Patagonia and Atacama are very safe.
¿A qué estafas debo estar atento?
Pickpocketing on Santiago metro during rush hour.
Taxi overcharging from airport — use official transfer services or Uber.
Fake police asking for documents then demanding money — real police carry verifiable ID.
¿Qué precauciones de salud debo tomar?
Good healthcare system. Private clinics in Santiago are excellent.
Altitude sickness possible in northern Atacama region.
Earthquakes and tsunamis are real risks — Chile is one of the most seismically active countries on earth. Know evacuation routes in coastal areas. Patagonia weather is extreme and changes rapidly.
