<p>Amith1, I just came back from Chile yesterday visiting extended family. This is my 7th visit since the 70’s and I can honestly say that no one has ever thrown anything at me (!!) or disrespected me in any way. Chileans are a proud and cultured people and extremely welcoming of tourists. The scenery is breathtaking, the food is wonderful, and there’s alot to do there culturally as well.</p>
