Hey Piotr,
However, there are a few things travelers should at least be aware of. Seriously, this is some of the best shit I've ever read!
Just have to find a good website. (3) Find out if you will be driving during any Chilean holiday as it will have a positive correlation to how many police are out (carabineros).

Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection. Familiarize yourself with earthquake and tsunami security measures in hotels and public and private buildings. Do not venture off major highways with basic or small rental vehicles. They tend to be several dollars (not the 75 cent tolls as I seem to remember in Florida). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Canadian government offices in Chile will be temporary closed to in-person visits until further notice. Movement restrictions and preventative measures are in place, including a nationwide curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Needless to say, I never again trusted him with my handgun. Never trust a Chilean. Most minefields are near the borders with Peru and Bolivia in the extreme north of Chile (regions XV, I and II) and Argentina in the south (region XII). No safe neighbourhood.
