Some
recommendations for a better trip:
Electricity Plugs has two-prong plugs. Electricity
in Chile: 220 volts
There are many internet cafes around
Here you could find several exchange commerce in down
town were you can try to find your better rate.
Not many people speak some other language besides
Spanish language, but Chilean people are very kind,
patient and very friendly and always is someone near
who speaks English ready to help you. It´s your
Best opportunity to practice your Spanish
When you arrive to Santiago airport, US and Canadian
citizens have to pay around $ 100 US dollar (credit
cards accepted), and Mexicans around $ 40 US dollars
(don’t ask me, but there is a sign that says
“reciprocity fee”). For these country’s
citizens this is your first paper work, before the
immigration officers.
Chile is a relatively safe country, policeman are
100% reliable. Never bribe a Chilean policeman you
go directly to jail. There are two principal police
forces in Chile, both of which are part of the national
government. Chile's police forces have a solid reputation
for incorruptibility and service to foreigners.
The Carabineros de Chile is the uniformed police force.
There is a comisaría (police station) in all
towns.
Chile has high medical standards, well-supplied hospitals
and qualified doctors. Many doctors are bilingual.
Private hospitals (clínicas) tend are often
better equipped and less crowded than public hospitals.
A consultation (consultación) is relatively
inexpensive.
Chile is free of most illnesses that generally require
vaccination
Tap water is generally safe to drink, but your stomach
may take some time to get used to it. If you have
a sensitive stomach, you may want to drink bottled
water. Food is also safe, but make sure to wash foods
and vegetables thoroughly. Think twice when eating
raw seafood shellfish.
Now, let’s have some good time in Chile.
