安全保卫工作在Chile
个人安全
Travellers to Chile usually do not experience any safety and security issues, although petty crime does occur in urban areas. Assault and robbery have also been reported in Santiago, Valparaíso, Viña del Mar and Calama. Avoid showing signs of affluence and pay close attention to personal belongings when in crowded tourist locations and transportation hubs. Avoid the Cerro San Cristóbal Park after dark, as well as poorer residential areas, known as poblaciones. Never leave your food or drinks unattended.
Unmarked landmines are still a serious threat in remote areas of the following regions: Arica, Panicota, Tarapaca, Antofagasta, Magallanes, and Antártica, in the areas bordering Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Travellers should avoid wandering off trails and entering less-traveled areas without checking with local authorities first.
Exercise caution when driving. Roads may not be well maintained or may not be well marked or lit and driving standards may be poor, especially in rural, mountainous areas. Keep doors locked and do not stop if flagged down by pedestrians. Travellers to Easter Island should note that there is no car insurance on the island.
Exercise extreme caution when participating in outdoor adventure activities as safety standards may not be adequate. Travellers should note that in National Parks, it is illegal to make open fires, outside of permitted camping zones. Penalties for doing so are severe. Ensure travel and medical insurance is acquired before departing and that your travel insurance policy covers outdoor adventure activities.
Same-sex sexual activity and marriage are both legal in Chile. LGBTI travellers should note, however, that Chile is a conservative society.
Floods are frequent between May and August. Wildfires occur during the summer months, especially between Santiago and Valparaíso, and in Magallanes.
