    A friend and I are going down to Chile this winter for 5 months, money permitting. I have read that it is easier to buy a car then rent, and that would put a substantial dent in our bank accounts. So, if anyone is heading down to Chile this winter and is in a similar situation and would like...

    I am going down to Chile this season and was wondering what is the best way to get around. I have heard that if you buy a car you need a chilean drivers license and insurance. If a car is the way to go, do they cost about the same as in the US?

    I'm finishing up my senior year in high school and a buddy and I are planning on going down to Chile to boat next winter. My question is does everything run at the same time (creeks, Futaleufu, etc.) or is better to go to one area for the beginning part of the season and then move to another...

    Hello all, Looking for input on where to go. Looking at either Chile or Costa Rica. I'm more of a rubber pusher, but a class III hardboater Which would you recommend going to? How easy is it to get a hold of some rubber down there? How easy to get some plastic? What about the number of...

    Okay, so how does one go about getting a boat to Chile? I'd prefer legitimate routes here, rather than hoping I can pass something off as a wave ski. Unfortunately, United allows kayaks but not on 737 aircraft, which is all that flies into Santiago. Is FedEx an option? Airline cargo? Anyone...

    In the doldrums of winter I thought I'd pass along a few comments about a trip to Chile this year. The purpose of the trip was not boating, but I got two days on the river in Pucon. First: Pucon is is kayak heaven. I hope to go back. Second: Rodrigo, owner of Kayak Pucon was awesome. I was in...
