Useful information on Chile
General: Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in South America occupying a long, narrow coastal strip between the Andes mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Along with Ecuador, it is one of two countries in South America that do not border Brazil. In 1973, following a military coup, Augusto Pinochet ruled Chile until a freely elected president was installed in 1990. Since then Chile has increasingly assumed regional and international leadership roles befitting its status as a stable, democratic nation. International telephone country code: +56, Internet country code: .cl, Electricity voltage: 220V frequency 50 Hz, Electrical outlet: Type C European 2-pin and type L Italian 3-pin, Time zone: -4 GMT
Languages: Spanish (official), Mapudungun, German, English. Southern Chile is enriched with German heritage where a small percentage of people speak German. The Chileans speak Spanish in their own accent, a style called Chilean Spanish, and refer to their spoken language as 'Castellano' or Castilian.
Climate: Being in the southern hemisphere, summer in Chile is from December through February and winter from June to August. The climate in Chile varies according to the geographical regions. The climate in the North is dry and arid. Rainfall is practically zero and temperatures can reach 35 Celsius, while night temperatures are very low, down to 0 Celsius. The Central Region has the best climate with long, dry summers and short, chilly winters. In the South of the country, summers are short and rainfall is frequent throughout the year. Winters are very cold and very wet. In the Far South, Patagonia, weather conditions can be extreme. Rainfall is more than frequent and winters are very cold.
Provinces/Regions: Chile is divided into 15 regions (the regions are divided into 54 provinces). Each region is given a Roman numeral, followed by a name. Roman numerals were assigned in ascending order from north to south. The Santiago Metropolitan Region, located in the center of the country and home to the country's capital Santiago, was excluded from this naming scheme and given instead the initials RM, standing for Region Metropolitana (Metropolitan Region). With the creation of regions XIV in the south and XV in the north (XIII is not used) in 2007, the north-south Roman numeral order was broken. The regions from north to south are:
XV - Arica and Parinacota
I - Tarapacá
II - Antofagasta
III - Atacama
IV - Coquimbo
V - Valparaíso
VI - O'Higgins
VII - Maule
VIII - Biobío
IX - Araucanía
XIV - Los Ríos
X - Los Lagos
XI - Aisén
XII - Magallanes and Antártica Chilena
RM Santiago Metropolitan
Major cities: Santiago is the capital and largest city of Chile and the fifth largest city in South America. More than one fourth of the population lives in the greater Santiago area. About nine out of ten Chileans live in cities. The major cities are: Santiago, Antofagasta, Vina Del Mar, Valparaiso, Talcahuano, San Bernardo, Temuco, Iquique, Concepcion, Rancagua, Talca, Arica, Coquimbo, Puerto Montt, La Serena. The 5 top popular cities are: Santiago, Vina Del Mar, Easter Island, Arica, Osorno and the Lake District.

Taxis: Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive. The cabs are coloured black with yellow roofs and can be hailed anywhere. Agree to a fare beforehand. Taxis with illuminated signs indicating their destination are 'collective' taxis. These follow a fixed route and are shared by up to five passengers. When travelling at night by taxi you are advised to book in advance rather than hailing from the street. Quite often the driver does not know how to get to the requested destination. The more information you give to the driver about your destination, the better.
Currency: The official currency in Chile is the Peso (CLP). The symbol for CLP can be written CH$. 1 Chilean Peso = 100 centavos. The local symbol is simply $. Notes are in denominations of CH$20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,000 and 1,000. Coins are in denominations of CH$ 500, 100, 50, 10, 5 and 1, although the 1 peso is no longer in circulation. The approximate exchange rate on 10th January 2011 was: 1 Euro = 641 CLP, 1 US$ = 496 CLP, 1 GB£ = 772 CLP.
Money: In Chile the government does not regulate the market of foreign currency. You can exchange money at market-driven exchange rates. However, exchanging traveller's cheques in Chile has been reported to be problematic. US dollars can be changed freely in money exchange shops, travel agencies, and hotels. Other currencies can only be traded in downtown Santiago during business hours. In towns and cities, Visa and MasterCard are commonly accepted, although Diners Club and American Express less so. The import and export of local and foreign currencies is unlimited, however amounts exceeding the equivalent of US$10,000 must be declared.
Casinos: Before 2005, there were only seven casinos in Chile, but following a new law passed in 2005, new casinos have opened. The new law allows five types of gaming activity on casino premises: bingo, cards, roulette, dice and slot machines. Several of the new casinos in Chile are part of a five-star hotel and offer wider entertainment facility. Most casinos in Chile are open from early afternoon till the early morning hours. The legal minimum gambling age in Chile is 18 years.

Santiago - Chile
Taking a bus in Santiago can be a bit of an adventure in itself.The following guide is to help people new to the city learn how to use this form of transport.
How much does it cost and how do I pay?
In Chile there is only one fare you have to pay (which varies from city to city) to get on a bus. You can travel only one block or across the entire city for the same price.
In Santiago, the fare is CLP$550 (as at 21st November 2011) and you will need to use the BIP card to pay it. This is a card that you swipe past a special machine that reads a chip in it and deducts the appropriate amount each time you get on a bus (it's NOT a day pass). The same card is used for the metro (subway) too. You can buy these BIP cards at any metro station and they cost $1200, though without any credit on it. You will have to add some money on to it the first time so you can start to use it and then you can then keep topping the cards up as often as you like.
Note: You can change buses without being charged an extra fare up to two hours after the first fare was charged. Also if you jump on the metro (subway) in that same time, you will only be charged the difference, not the full fare.
The government tried to make some automatic coin operatedmachines compulsory a couple of years ago though they cameacross heated opposition from the bus owners and the publicin general. Some 'micros' still have these machines thoughthey cannot be used.
You may see a fare which is for students (currently CLP$150). This is not for international students, only local students studying full-time in Chile with a special card (that has a photo) given by the Government.
How to know which bus to use.
1. This is the bus number
2. The starting destination and the final destination. It usually refers to the suburb.
3. The main streets the bus goes along.
4. The bus fare
In the photo above, you will see that the bus started in theLas Condes suburb and will end up in the Maipú suburb. Itstarts by going along the residential street of Tomás Morothen goes onto Apoquindo (which happens to be where WoodwardChile is), then Providencia (a shopping / business area) and then Alameda which is downtown. Fromthere is goes to Camino a Rinconada and then Av. 4 Poniente.There will of course be more smaller streets at thebeginning and end of the run though they are not normallyplaced on the destinations chart in the window.
The main street that cuts through the middle of the city from East to West changes its name a number of times. It startsoff as Av. Las Condes, then becomes Av. Apoquindo then Providencia and then Alameda.
These buses won't take you to the airport since it is well outside of the city. Even though there are a couple of buses thathave the word aeropuerto (or airport) in the main streets section of their sign, it is only the name of a street andwon't take you anywhere near where you really want to go.
Many people will just tell you the bus number to take to get to a certain destination. Make sure you take it on the correctside of the street otherwise you will end up on the opposite of the city. Ask the driver if the bus takes you to acertain street if you are not sure.
A few years ago you used to see the infamous yellow buses in Santiago. These have now been replaced by the more 'efficient' green and white buses in a governmental plan called 'Transantiago'.
The drivers now receive a fixed salary so their need to rush everywhere to try and beat the other drivers to theirclients no longer happens. In the past, the yellow bus drivers only received a small (I would say more like insignificant)percentage of tickets sold which of course is why many drivers would pocket the fare money without giving the ticket and race each other to get to the clients first.
You should get on a bus at a bus stop as now as, unlike the past, you cannot wave them down on the street. To get off the bus, it pays to push the stop button or pull a cord going along the roof before you intendto stop since Micros are notorious for travelling very fast and may not stop in time at where you want. Bus drivers arefamous for NOT respecting other traffic and for racing along streets. If you have been in Santiago for a while you canguarantee that at some moment you will have been in some type of 'accident' where the bus hits/nudges/scrapesalong/bumps into/crashes into/runs over some other vehicle or thing or whatever. I personally have witnessed manyincluding people getting run over.
With the Transantiago Plan, they hoped to improve this situation. There are still problems with this now-not-so-new system since many of the older yellow buses with their routes were taken off the map leaving many people unhappy. Little by little it gets better.

Entertainment and Food on the Bus ???
While you are on the 'micro', you will see a variety of characters rapidly getting on and off the bus. They includepeople selling sweets, chocolate or some other food 'A CIEN' which means for 100 pesos. Other times you willsee people selling bottles of drinks, children's colouring books, socks, a set of kitchen knives or whatever they feelthat the people need. Some times you will see people come on dressed as clowns and telling jokes, other times with aguitar or bongo drums to entertain the crowd (some are really good). Every now and then someone may come on andleave a card with a calendar on it on your lap (whether you asked for it or not). They are not for free so if you don'twant it just hand it back or if you do want it, hand over some money (sometimes CLP$100 is OK). In some cases you willget someone coming on telling a long story (obviously in Spanish) about how their child is sick and they lost theirjob and are looking for some coins that may help ease their suffering. Though occasionally their story may be true,often it is not. Many people do this as their 'profession' which seems to pay quite well. They will even go tofalsifying documents to make it appear more real. I remember a case where a lady sitting in front of me (who said she wasa doctor) offered to help the child where she worked. The woman with the supposed sick child wasn't interested in herhelp; she just wanted the money then and there. Something to think about!
La Micro
La Micro = this is what the local buses within a city are called.
- Voy a tomar la micro en la esquina. (I'm going to take the bus on the corner)
NOTE: You need to be careful because even though the word ends in 'o', it is a feminine word.
