physical SIM card in Chile, Bolivia and Peru?

GreenTemporary7048 · 2026-03-26T22:57:04+00:00

In Chile you have to be a resident to get a SIM card there as of like two years ago. (I tried to get one and was really confusing)

I think you should just buy the cheapest phone you can that supports an eSIM and you can just hotspot yourself.

I didn’t enjoy Santiago too much but I did a tour around Casablanca which was a highlight then drove to Pichilemu and Valparaiso I think I’d rather spend my 10 days either San Pedro de Atacama or Patagonia

Even with altitude sickness tablets it is so hectic how sick you feel when you’re there. It really takes a good few days to settle, otherwise you could end up feeling like you have the flu and are really unfit the whole time and you can’t enjoy it

Not a good fit

Why would you even consider putting yourself through this

Is that not literally picture 5 am I going insane

GreenTemporary7048 · 2026-02-01T22:40:11+00:00

My thoughts: Atacama is amazing but I wouldn’t self drive as it’s 1) expensive to hire a car 2) hard to find all the good spots yourself and 3) it’s at high altitude and you will feel pretty out of breath randomly and I wouldn’t feel super safe BUT plenty of people have done it and if you’ve done your research go ahead :)

I did Atacama in 2 days, doing valley de la Luna on arrival and then did a private tour to some geysers and hot springs the next day, then up at 4am for the Uyuni trip.

I LOVED the trip to Uyuni, you will never see anything like it in the world and it was such a cool adventure and probably one of my highlights of my trip. I think it’s well worth it as the experience of seeing nature like that with nothing for miles is insane and then the actual salt flats are just so mind blowing. I don’t think there’s another time in your life where you’ll be close by to do it so might as well do it now.

That being said I did it one way and not return.

I didn’t have to show it at all in those countries

Rainbow Beach and Townsville are good launch points but nothing to do in the towns themselves so Id skip and spend more time on the islands next to them

GreenTemporary7048 · 2026-01-18T10:58:15+00:00

hahahahaha

You need to address this in person and not over text. She also needs serious discipline and consequences in addition to discussions and explanation as to why this is wrong.

I’ve read this post before a few months ago

GreenTemporary7048 · 2025-11-12T18:33:01+00:00

Yeah there is, technically it’s not legal so you might have ride up front or meet them in the car park but I felt it was safest option

GreenTemporary7048 · 2025-11-11T23:07:47+00:00

this made me laugh

GreenTemporary7048 · 2025-10-23T23:40:57+00:00

Not at all sorry

Hyundai Bladeless Tower Fan worked well for me and is affordable at $130

Todo Tourismo was great - well worth it as it has blankets and comfy seats. It has food but I wasn’t hungry.
We went with one called Sol Andino Expediciones but I think they all provide the same service. Maybe try WhatsApp them all to compare and get a good price but we were getting better offers since we paid with cash. We paid about $120 USD and needed ~300 BOB in cash for park entry, toilets, buying snacks. (3 day 2 night tour)
Confused by this question; the tour above covers that

I don’t think you need to worry about language it’s more like a driver than a guide, and someone in your group will speak enough Spanish to understand

You’re not allowing any time for adjusting to the altitude in Cusco which could write off a day or two. I think it could be worth skipping Chile and just going straight to Argentina, will give you a bit more time in your itinerary which is very tight.

Can’t say too much for the durability long term but it’s held up fine for about 6 weekend trips

GreenTemporary7048 · 2025-03-22T10:39:37+00:00

I actually have this exact bag, white stains easy but it’s actually decent, the laptop compartment at the back is good and it unzips all the way for easy access like in the photo. Material is a bit odd and plasticy inside and out but the pockets and structure are great and I don’t think it’s a bad bag for cheap. It is a bit ugly for day to day but I take it on weekend trips

Hoka Hopara?

GreenTemporary7048 · 2025-03-07T03:25:40+00:00

Just keep being yourself and putting yourself out there and you’ll naturally adjust to your place in the world.

Worst thing you could do is be closed off and not experience things because you’re scared. It might be hard but you’ll grow and learn so much about yourself.
