Chile after the earthquake

by Jessie Kwak | 10 March 2010 One Comment

It’s been almost three weeks since The Earthquake in Chile. It’ll take some time before the country is fully recovered, so if you’re planning a trip there, make sure to do your research and be smart.

The Santiago Times (English) and the LA Times’s Latin America Blog have had some of the best continuing coverage of the earthquake, but here’s a roundup of other travel-related resources from the internet.

- Wendy Perrin of The Perrin Post posted (I’m going to leave that how it is): “Where in Chile is it Safe to Travel Now?”, a region-by-region guide.

- Craig and Linda Martin over at Indie Travel Podcast have a great new podcast up about their experience during the earthquake, as well as an exhaustive list of tips for travelers who want to be prepared for a disaster. I was cringing the whole way through because of how unprepared Rob and I would have been. Listen to this, it’s good stuff.

- For more resources, check out Jill Robinson’s poston Vagabonding: “Tools and tips for immediate post-earthquake travel in Chile”, and World Nomad’s website for a list of tips for traveling in Chile.

    Hi Jessie – thanks for linking us, and thanks for the other resources. Will our paths cross in the next few months? Email me if you’ll be in Peru, Bolivia or Argentina before June.
