Don’t
only look at the beautiful women and handsome men!
Be aware of pickpockets.
Don’t allow them to distract you (a popular tactic)
in a
crowd. For example, by bumping into you or by spilling
some liquid or soda „by
accident“.
Try to keep your purse or backpack in front of your body.
Always keep track of your belongings,
bags, backpacks and luggage. Don’t let them out
of your sight.
Don’t show off valuables like jewelry,
cameras, etc. Hold on tight to your cell phone
while talking.
Leave large sums of money,
plane tickets, passport, etc. in a safe place in your
residence or carry them in a money-belt or special hidden
compartment.
Make a photocopy of your passport to take with you and
leave the original in a safe place unless you really need
it.
At night, avoid going
for walks alone in the hills Cerro San Cristóbal
and Santa
Lucía in Santiago, the same goes for the hills
of Valparaíso, and for some parts of the downtown.
Beware of a very special trick:
seemingly nice and well educated (most often
young) people approach foreigners and present a social,
political or ecological campaign they’ve allegedly
been planning. With a very valid argument and psychological
pressure – they always work in groups – they
convince their victim to „donate“ a large
sum of money. These groups tend to work in Cerro Santa
Lucía and in Parque Forestal in Santiago.
