Further south, outdoor havens like Puerto Varas and Torres del Paine are ideal for independent adventures, with structured hikes led by multilingual guides. Solo female travelers particularly benefit from Chile’s effective policing, strict safety measures, and notably low harassment levels. LGBTQI+ visitors also find support and visibility through active community spaces and progressive legislation. Chile invites solo travelers from all backgrounds into an atmosphere of openness, security, and genuine hospitality.
