Chile
Between dictatorship, reinvention and one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes.
The dart landed on Chile. Between dictatorship, reinvention and one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes.
I arrived without a plan — surrendering control is the whole point of Travel by Dart — and let Chile set its own pace. South America has a way of surprising me, and this journey was no exception: unfamiliar food, generous strangers, and the kind of moments you simply cannot script.
This is my short first take while I write the full story. Press play above to watch the adventure, and check back soon for the complete first-person account of everything the dart uncovered in Chile.
Chile: traveler questions
Is Chile safe for travelers?＋
I filmed across Chile using normal travel common sense and never felt I was taking a reckless risk. Like anywhere in South America, I stay aware of my surroundings and lean on trusted local guidance. I'll add specific, on-the-ground safety notes here once the full Chile story is written.
When is the best time to visit Chile?＋
I'll share the ideal months in the full Chile write-up. As a rule I prefer shoulder seasons for thinner crowds and better value, and I plan around the local weather and any festivals worth timing a trip around.
What makes Chile worth the trip?＋
Between dictatorship, reinvention and one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. The best moments came from the unplanned turns the dart pushed me into. Watch the episode above for the highlights, and check back soon for my complete first-person guide to Chile.
