Santiago

---

To enter Chile a non national needs $117 US dollars, you can pay by cash or credit. Nationals are exempt of these fees. Tip 1...never get in a black taxi! if you value your life...airport taxi counter is safe and will cost $20,000 Chilean pesos. Then hang on for the ride!!! three lane highways become five lane highways with no rules...!
Tip 2...I recommend Amistar Apartment as in CBD and next to grocery store and ask for a room with a view to Cerro San Cristobal.
I wanted to climb to the ruin this morning but I was turned away because I was a woman alone vagabonds and homeless men every where very risky and gangs between12 years and 20 year olds the most dangerous for rape and pillage! A 28 year old man was murdered three days ago by a gang of four, he was trying to protect his girlfriend.
Tip 3...Safer to hang in the hotel proximity and get over jet lag. Definitely no going out at night and hang on to your bags tight. ..it's a mixture of excitement and sheer fear hanging out around here! !!
