Sadly we didn't have time to go anywhere interesting in Argentina. We were just touring the mountains. Apparently, Chile is where a LOT of Argentinians spend their vacations because of the monetary exchange rate and the Chilean beaches being nicer and warmer.
Oh, another thing about South America... The Spanish-speaking countries all speak Spanish you'd recognize. Chilean Spanish is a different animal altogether. They speak more rapidly and cut off conjugations, which makes it difficult even for native Spanish speakers from other countries to understand them all of the time.
There are spots in Chile that are wonderful. There are spots that are awful. Avoid Santiago at all costs unless that's the only plane ticket you can get.
If you are limited on time and budget, it really depends on your goal as to whether you should skip Chile or not. Since you're fascinated with it, I'd say go for it!
No, I've never been to Uruguay, nor have I been to any other bit of South America yet. I've been twice, and both times I stayed in Chile because I know some people that retired down there and I could stay with them to save costs.
If you do go, there are a few things to remember:
Chilean police are great. It's a national pride that they aren't corrupt and actually take pride in their job. Do not try to bribe them. (Not that I would bribe any officer of the law anywhere, unless forced into it)
They have weird jobs and everyone expects a tip for it. For example, there are guys that hang out in parking lots to direct you to spots or to tell you it's okay to back out....and they expect tips for it. Most are too polite to say anything if you don't tip though. If you make it to La Serena, you'll see people selling all sorts of things at intersections...including bottled water. It started with college kids trying to make a buck and spread like mad.
Getting use to driving via kph instead of mph takes a little getting used to. Their speed limit signs are just circles with a number on them.
Do not try to bring fruits, vegetables, nuts, or really any uncooked food into Chile as they are VERY strict about that and will confiscate it. We took some fruit as snacks out of Chile when we went to Argentina, returning the same day. They wouldn't allow us to bring the rest of that fruit back into Chile.
Haggling has become less common and I think that's influence from foreigners who have immigrated there. It doesn't hurt to try though.
Ice isn't commonly served in drinks and you have to request it specifically.
Quoting: a Dude, not THE Dude haha, your comment about no bribing necessary with the Chilean police cracked me up. Yeah, I have a real bad habit of bribing cops everywhere I go, so I appreciate the heads up! haha I'm familiar with Chilean Spanish, and yes, those folks are definitely hard to understand. I feel the same way about Cubans and often Puerto Ricans. All of those countries have their own unique ways of speaking - their own words for things, etc. It's always a bit of an adjustment language-wise whenever you go to any Spanish-speaking country. Yes, skip Santiago is what I keep hearing so that is good to know from you as well. I know someone in Mendoza ARG so that's a definite stop for me. Plus, it's beautiful mountain/wine country! It would make sense to research a good spot in Chile near there and do a little jaunt over. Well, I appreciate all that you shared. Makes me really jealous. I'm not kidding when I say I've had a fascination with S. America since childhood. It's been my #1 dream trip for much of my life. There's just so much to see, though. And I want to see it all, experience all the different cultures, etc. This is why I need to win the lottery, so I can just quit my job and just head over there and take my time. Quoting: KickinIt I want to explore there as well, maybe even move there (SA). I loved Costa Rica too. Spread the word, change the collective conscious...... THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH OF EVERYTHING TO GO AROUND When you are undisciplined, the universe is extremely forgiving and when you are disciplined, the universe is extremely generous.
