pick pocketing
The main street in Santiago is O'Higgins Blvd and even though it is wide and the sidewalks wide, it has pick pockets and you must be on the alert. they tend to work in pairs and have one distract you by asking the time while the other atempts to pick your pocket from behind

pick pockets. It is a pretty safe place. I wouldn't suggest ordering salads in most places, since you cannot guarantee the cleanliness of the water used to water the lettuce. The police in Chile are typically extremely honest and will be very offended if you try to bribe them (bribe away in Argentina, in fact, it will probably be expected if you get pulled over). Get used to people staring at you. The do it to each other and REALLY do it to anyone that looks slightly different. For woman, get ready to have the guys make a lot of comments and noises. Irritating but not dangerous.

Crossing the Magellan Straight
If you are relying on getting across the Channel on the Ferry at a specific time DONT. Due to changable weather condtions (especially strong winds) the Ferry crossing may be closed. The day we crossed we waited at the crossing for 6 hours. Instead of arriving in Ushuaia from Punta arenas at 10pm we arrived at 2.00am
