You may ask yourself - why should I fly so many hours down to Chile?
We dont have to think about it twice - there are plenties of reasons.
But the most important for your trip or stay are the following:
People!
Chilenos are amazing people.
Where do you find the friendliest?
Generally the South is known for the most welcoming people (eg. from Island of Chiloe).
But of course you are also able to meet very nice citizens in Santiago or the Northern territory.
Another rule of thumb - the smaller the city, the friendlier the people (happens in many countries).
What are they like?
Chilenos are very social people, and like to have a good time.
Dont be suprised to be invited to a BBQ every weekend.
They are also very patriotic and love their country. For their Independance Days (18+19 September)
everyone rises up a flag. And during a soccer match, be sure nobody walks outside on the streets.
Take advantage and learn as much as you can about Chile by asking locals.
You wont be bored. Chilenos are funny people and love to make jokes.
Nature!
Of course. Many people visit Chile due its unique landscapes.
Which other country has glaciars, deserts, 6,000 (!) km of coastline with beaches, mountains up to 5,000 m and native people like the Rapa Nui?
The Atacama desert is the driest in the world and offers spectacular scenes of salt flats, volcanoes, dunes and much more.
Easter Island is one of the most remoted places on earth being over 3,500 km (!) away from the South American continent where you can meet an incredibly unique culture.
Patagonia is a paradise for those who like Trekking. The mountains and landscapes are incredible and difficult to describe.
Stability!
Especially compared to its neighboring countries, but also to some European ones, Chile offers a very stable situation. Crime rates and corruption are relatively low, and apart of some areas in the outskirts of the capital city Santiago, Antofagasta or Valparaiso, it can be said that in general Chile is a safe country to visit (of course basic precaution rules as anywhere else in the world need to be considered).
Conclusion
It is very well worth it to fly half around the globe and discover this amazing country.
Visit Chile!
