The heat is not that bad in my opinion. It is dry - stick to the shade and it is manageable. Besides from Plaza Italia, you should be ok in terms of protests. In terms of nightlife, then February is not a good month. The party is on the coast or down by the lakes in general. Climate at night is very...

It is a Movistar thing. Works in all Movistar countries + some additional ones. Pretty neat. Furthermore, the pasaporte roaming is a ok deal.
Claro seems to have an even better roaming offer, but haven't tried it.

All mine were in the airport.
In BOG, once or twice they asked questions, but the supervisors normally know the rules. In LIM I have never been asked anything in regards to my passport

Agreed on always carrying the passport as well, but I have been to Peru more than 10 times only showing my cedula. Never had any problems

You need a passport if the country you're a national of doesn't have an agreement with Peru allowing you to travel with your ID only. This doesn't have anything to do with your Chilean permanent resident status. Source: https://www.migraciones.gob.pe/index.php/control-migratorio-de-ingreso-de-extra...

Today in Plaza Italia could be interesting. Apparently, carabineros have posted or will post 1000 officers around the plaza.

Videos are videos, but look at dates and when the video was actually recorded. You say "another day ..." indicating that the videos were recent. Some are from the first weekend of the demonstrations.
What do you wish to achieve with posting these tweets?

Another day another step closer to civil war. https://twitter.com/R1card0Est3ban_/status/1200102401547603968?s=20 https://twitter.com/R1card0Est3ban_/status/1197931782873780224?s=20 https://twitter.com/RadioTVLiberaci/status/1199899578553839616?s=20 People almost killed, including the Carabineros w...

Anyone able to explain why XE and the like continue to show the dollar going up, to 839 last check. While emol is saying it sank, sank in their vocab means it gave up the previous days gains, 20 odd pesos. ????? Govt and the technocrats unfortunately I fear are pissing 20 billion up against the wal...

Just checked the Metro Twitter profile. Escuela militar was not closed today. From where do you get your news?

Arriving Santiago airport at 6 pm today, renting a car and need to get to Providencia/Manuel Montt area.

Anything in particular brewing that I need to look out for?

Haven't been to Santiago since May, don't miss it at all.

Use Waze. And obviously avoid Plaza Italia.
