Hola! Con mi pareja queremos viajar durante las dos últimas semanas de noviembre desde Puerto Montt hasta Futaleufú, recorriendo en el camino Hornopirén, Pumalín/Caleta Gonzalo y Chaitén, pero haciendo todo en transporte público, sin arrendar auto.

¿Alguien ha realizado una ruta similar? Me servirían mucho datos sobre buses, barcazas, conexiones que convenga reservar.

También agradecería recomendaciones de:

• Trekking, termas, rafting u otros tours que realmente valgan la pena.
• Alojamientos o datos BBB.
• Ropa necesaria para esa época y cosas que no deberían faltar.
• Lugares que agregarían o eliminarían de la ruta.

Gracias!

Alguna recomendación de lugares bonitos para visitar cerca de Valdivia.

Hola buenas! Estoy viendo al recuperarme de una operacion que me tuvieron que hacer, irme de viaje al sur desde la region de valpo.
Me ire por 3 semanas a un mes en auto, primer viaje que hare en auto sola (antes he viajado en bus a la Araucania) pero esta vez quiero ir parando en varios lugares y conociendo mas nuestro pais.

Mi duda es, que lugares creen que podria disfrutar? Mi idea es quedarme un par de dias en cada lugar en el que este y no viajar mas de 3 horas por dia para llegar al proximo destino.

Muchas gracias de antemano.

Aprovecho de compartirles una foto del viaje a la araucania… si tienen la posibilidad de ir algun dia, es realmente hermoso

buenas, voy a emprender viaje sola a san pedro y quería preguntarles qué tal es por allá, sobretodo la vida nocturna, si es para andar de a uno o no

también si tienen recomendaciones de picadas las recibo feliz de la vida!

We are traveling in Chile and are currently in Temuco, we are wondering what is the best part to go to and how. We intend to go by bus and are willing for it to take a few days to get there

Quisiera saber cómo es realmente vivir en el extremo sur. Si es tan frío y ventoso como dicen, si es muy aislado y caro, cómo es el día a día, en qué trabaja la gente y si vale la pena mudarse para allá por la naturaleza

Hi all, we are looking for 2 others to share the cost of a private tour of a day trip to the Southern tip of Bolivia from San Pedro de Atacama on one of the days between October 16-19 (this week). The trip would be essentially the first day of the popular 3/4 day Uyuni trip (Laguna Blanca, Laguna Verde, Salvador Dali Desert, Sol de Manana Geysers, Laguna Colorada), and then heading back to San Pedro that same evening. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Lo vi en las RRSS pero no revelaron nunca dónde es 😅

Hi people!

We’re planning for a 14-day trip in Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) in a campervan. I tried to reach out for some, but they’re unresponsive, which gives me quite a bad image of them somehow… can anybody recommend me a company with good reputation please, thank you very much!🙏

Pick-up and Drop-off in Punta Arenas.

Hey! This is for next January (2027).

Anyone have any recommendations for bird guides around Santiago and on Rapa Nui? I've been trying for 2-3 weeks to find a) someone to take us on some day trips outside Santiago; and b) someone to take us on a pelagic trip from Rapa Nui and another day around the island. (If s/he is a guide for the national parks, too, that's even better.)

I have written to 2 different people I found on the web, Sebastian in Rapa Nui & Cristofer in Santiago. Cristofer no longer lives in Santiago and Sebastian hasn't written back (even though I wrote via a travel agency that recommended him).

Both times I mentioned if they aren't available could they recommend someone.

I got ONE quote, $3500/2 days/2 people. Parks, pelagic & birding. This seems a little extreme as it's the same amount we're spending on the rest of the trip!

I also keep finding tours from Santiago to Rapa Nui, 4-5 days birding & sightseeing. This won't work as we already have our flights, hotel & even a rental car, if necessary.

If you're a guide or you know of any, let me know, please.

I have contacted Birdwatchingchile.com, Albatross Tours, Alvaro's Adventures (they sent me to Sebastian), and EasterIsland.travel. I'd prefer to use a local company, so haven't contacted US-based SunRise Tours yet. Also have gone thru all the people/tours listed on birdingpal.org and fatbirder.com.

We are trying to get this set up sooner than later.

TIA!!

Hello,
I am planning to stay for at least 6 months on a farm for cultural exchange. I am an artist, I will be working with children there.
It is very spontaneous, I want to start in 2 weeks, there is no time for the big working/ exhchange visa. I am 26 and have a german passport.
My question is: Has anyone experience in prolonging their 90 day tourist visa once (without leaving the country for around 100$) and then leaving the country after this period (I would leave to argentinia) and then traveling into the country again as a tourist?
I just wanna check my options here. Of course I know it is forbidden to work as a tourist, but I try to frame it as cultural exchange which isnt too far off...

Llevo un tiempo armando esta playlist en Spotify y me encantaría recibir la opinión de la comunidad:

🔗 Link a la playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QGkscTaRDx4vwnmhU7cJk

Mi objetivo es que la selección se sienta verdaderamente auténtica, sin caer solo en lo más comercial ni en lo típico de siempre. Quiero que mantenga una buena esencia, fluidez y personalidad de principio a fin.

Me gustaría pedirles su ayuda con lo siguiente:

1. ¿Qué temas o artistas sienten que le darían un toque más auténtico?
2. ¿Hay alguna canción en la lista que sientan que "desentona" o sobra?

Acepto cualquier tipo de recomendación (joyas ocultas, clásicos infaltables, artistas independientes, etc.).

¡Agradezco mucho sus comentarios y sugerencias para ir mejorándola! 🙌

We are currently planning a trip to Chile in late November with our 1 year old and would love some input since I see the high occurrence of hantavirus in the country this past year. Working in health care and having seen it firsthand, I am honestly a bit anxious about it.

We are planning on visiting Santiago, Vina del Mar, Zapallar, and then down to down to Puerto Varas (which I know has higher incidence of the virus). We aren't super outdoorsy people & aren't planning on remote hikes but were planning on spending some time outdoors. We also were looking into Airbnb houses, some ~ 15 minutes outside of the cities in more remote areas/on the water, but they are newer looking and have great reviews.

Our big concern is that we have a 1 year old that is wanting to crawl everywhere and put EVERYTHING in his mouth.

We would LOVE to visit but are hesitant with the high rates this year, especially with our little one. How is the state of things currently? Should we plan to go elsewhere with this risk? Should we skip the lake district given the higher occurrence? If we do visit, should we just be safe and stay in hotels/apartments within the cities? Anything we should specifically avoid or do to reduce the risk?

Very much appreciate any response!!

Últimamente he estado buscando información de otras personas que hayan hecho este mismo recorrido, pero no he encontrado mucho, así que me gustaría saber si alguien de aquí ha viajado a este destino o a uno similar y pudiera contarme su experiencia.

Planeo hacer este viaje el próximo año y me sería de mucha ayuda conocer todos los detalles: cuánto gastaron aproximadamente, qué documentos o requisitos les pidieron, cómo fue su experiencia, con qué aerolínea viajaron, etc.

En mi caso, viajaría con tarifa básica y también tengo planeado llevar algunas artesanías de México como regalo para la familia que me recibirá.

Si alguien ha hecho un viaje similar, agradecería muchísimo que me contara su experiencia y cualquier recomendación o consejo que consideren importante. 🙏✨

Hi all, I'll be spending 2 days in Santiago after a week in the Atacama Desert. On the first day I'm gonna have some fun with some general sight seeing and exploring the city, going to some museums and parks near my hotel. On the second day I'm torn between more general sight seeing, or doing a day trip to Vina del Mar, Valparaiso & Casablanca which is being offered by many tour companies.

Has anyone else done this day trip? Was it worthwhile? Given I only have 2 days I wouldn't wanna do a day trip that's underwhelming

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m traveling solo from Costa Rica and will be in San Pedro de Atacama from Jan 23–26, then planning to cross from San Pedro → Uyuni around Jan 27–29.
I’m looking to meet other solo travelers around those dates — maybe share a tour, explore together, grab food/drinks, watch the sunset, or just meet some cool people along the way. 😊
I’m especially interested in doing the 3-day/2-night San Pedro → Uyuni tour, so if you’re planning something similar, let me know!
📍 San Pedro: Jan 23–26
🏜️ San Pedro → Uyuni: Jan 27–29
✈️ Traveling solo from Argentina
🌎 Open to meeting travelers from anywhere
Not necessarily looking for someone to travel with the entire trip — just people who happen to be around at the same time.
Feel free to DM me! ✌️

Hola a todos. Estoy en mi proyecto de título de Diseño, investigando cómo ayudar a la gente que se pierde haciendo actividades outdoor en Chile. Si alguna vez te perdiste, te desorientaste, o conoces a alguien que le pasó, me sirve muchísimo tu experiencia. También si simplemente sales seguido a la montaña y quieres opinar.
