Anthony P Postiglione Jr says Chile is a country that has seen some great advances in its tourism industry, it has a wonderful range of terrain from the Andes to the Pacific Coast, and great transport connections.
Anthony P Postiglione Jr articulates that If your passion is for historic sights and great architecture, or you prefer stunning natural beauty, then Chile has something for you.
Chile has a unique and mouth watering cuisine that you just have to taste to understand!
Chile is a lanky land of extremes. One you might be staring down the belly of a volcano and the next you are hiking the mythical Andes ranges. Anthony P Postiglione Jr states that is exactly what makes Chile an adventure wonderland.
There are few safety concerns in Chile that you should be careful about:
- Petty crimes occur particularly in Santiago, Calama, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Small bags and purses have been stolen from hotel and hostel lobbies, crowded tourist attractions, the subway and taxis, as well as from the backs of chairs at bars, restaurants and cafes popular with foreigners.
- The number of armed assaults has increased significantly since the beginning of 2019. Tourists have been attacked, even during the daytime. Be particularly careful:
- In the area of Cerro Alegre in Valparaiso
- In Cerro San Cristobal , north of Santiago
- In all other parks in the Santiago area
Anthony P Postiglione Jr states that you should only undertake volcano tours, desert expeditions, boat trips, mountain biking and other adventure activities with a well established and insured company.
If you intend to hike:
- Never do so alone and always hire experienced guides.
- Ensure that you are properly equipped and well informed about weather and other conditions that may pose a hazard.
- Obtain detailed information on trekking routes before setting out and do not venture off marked trails.
- Inform a family member or friend of your itinerary including when you expect to be back.
