Honeymoon in Chile

Good in the winter with crackers and cheese. I like noodles in mine as well.

Is it safe to travel there? That would be my biggest question (I know nothing about Chile)

I'm getting married this April and we are headed to St Lucia.

can't wait, it has been too damn cold here lately.

Chile was an amazing trip. Itis safe to travel there, as long as you use your common sense and stay to the areas that seem safe. We felt very safe at any restaurant, park, or market. Walking most streets and public transportation seemed very safe as well.

Santiago is like any other big city, however, setting is ideal. 45 minutes east are the Andes Mountains, 45 minutes west are the beaches. In between the city and the beaches is the wine country.

We also flew down to Temuco, and spent some time in the lake/volcano region. Lots of thermal baths to visit, and unbelievable scenery. We stayed in Pucon, a great little tourist town set at the foot of a volcano and on a big lake. It similar to a much cheaper Lake Tahoe. Climb Mount Villarica, the volcano, if the weather is cooperative. Also lots of white water activities in the area.

Easter Island is a cool place to visit that only a few people will ever actually see. We decided it was too expensive to take the time to visit. I know a few people who have been, and they enjoyed it, but the overall consensus was that it took valuable time and money away from their trip.

I loved Chile. Everyone we met was very friendly. I would suggest knowing a litle Spanish. I would move there in a heart beat.

Terrible idea. Stick to the traditional trip unless your SO is from there.

Seems like it has alot to offer. Pacific Beaches, Easter Island, Andes mountains, glaciers, desert, volcanos and the world's largest pool. Pictures look pretty legit. What does the OT think of Chile?

It was on my list for Honeymoon locations as a "nearby" destination if we didn't get enough time off.

How long are you planning on being down there? As was said, Easter Island is a completely unrelated destination almost, so you need to have a lot of time because you are probably going to kill 3 days to get there and back.
