It was my first experience traveling solo and Chile was amazing for who wants to explore city and nature! People was extremely kind and helped me when I needed it, I met some wonderful girls who showed me the city of Santiago.

I was able to see a great diversity of landscapes in Chile! I highly recommend it ☀️ The Atacama Desert and the Elqui Valley are my favorites so far! I was also able to do volunteer work staying with locals, which allowed me to meet local people and make wonderful connections!
Posted: November 26, 2025Santiago is a good city for solo travelling. There are many hostels where you can meet other people and enjoy your stay together. I felt very safe in Santiago as people were super nice, friendly and welcoming.

Antofagasta is very safe during the day. Only during the night it get kinda weird, it’s very important that you stay away from the Main Streets downtown because they are known for prostitution and drug dealing, I would also avoid walking alone at night anywhere lol
Posted: December 20, 2025Santiago is as safe as any big city, if you are sensible about your surroundings and belonings you should be fine. Fewer people speak english than in the more touristy areas so learning spanish before you come will help, athough the accent is still hard to understand
Posted: December 6, 2025Temuco is a beautiful city during the day, it has some areas that are safer than others and nice natural environments, it's rich in culture, and the people are lovely. However, at night it's better to be cautious on the streets, as there is no public transport at night and yes, sometimes there are robberies.
