Local Expert Tips

When booking accommodation in Chile, be mindful of the local customs and etiquette. For example, it's common to greet the staff with a friendly 'buenos días' or 'buenas tardes' when entering the property. And if you're staying in a smaller town or rural area, don't be surprised if the WiFi connection is slower than what you're used to - take it as an opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in the surroundings.

One specific recommendation I have is to try staying in a 'cabaña' (cabin) in the Lake District. These cozy retreats offer breathtaking views of the lakes and volcanoes, creating a truly magical experience.
