Chile was overrun by socialists, forced vax, illegal refugees living in the streets and committing crime openly without consequence. Santiago is a sh!thole now. Outside the city however you have a chance at a cheaper life although crime is very mature, scams are as advanced as here. But the good people are beautiful people, unlike other countries you will be welcome and be able to fit in. Just don't walk around with jewelry or tech that can be grabbed.

Their tariffs are very high, and much is pirated or cheap copies of what you find here, and you will pay more than here. So stock up on blue jeans and good shoes etc before going.
