Why Chile?

From deserts to glaciers to coastlines to mountains — Chile offers staggering diversity along its 2,700-mile coastline. From hiking in the Andes to scuba diving off the coast, ample adventures await here for the outdoor enthusiast. Its unique geography fosters a thriving wine community, producing numerous varietals for its worldwide audience. Chile's urban centers benefit from its robust infrastructure, low crime rates, and strict gun control measures. The relaxed, family-centered culture makes this an ideal place to raise children.

The laid-back lifestyle slows down bureaucratic processes, though, so you may want to hire a local consultant to shorten the months-long visa process. Learning Spanish becomes essential here for daily life. Expats should expect culture shock, as well; Chilean's traditional values and risk aversion often clash with American extraversion. Overall, this South American nation is a great place to raise a family, especially one seeking vigorous explorations in nature.
