Valparaiso Secure Transportation Services

ETS Security Overview - Chile

Like most countries around the world, there is an element of criminality within Chile.  Criminal activity is most common in urban areas, especially in Santiago, Valparaiso, and Antofagasta.  Non-violent crime through pickpocketing is considered the main threat to foreign visitors.  Opportunists typically target those who are unaware of their surroundings and have valuables such as wallets, smartphones and other electronic devices on display.  Most crime involving foreign nationals occurs in areas where tourists generally frequent, for example, shopping centers, public transportation networks and areas near hotels.

Protests frequently occur in Chile but rarely escalate into violence; however, demonstrations involving student groups can include some level of confrontation with security forces. Most demonstrations are related to labor disputes, economic policies, student concerns, or social issues.  Most vulnerable areas for protests to evolve, include Santiago and Valparaiso which consequently can have the potential to disrupt travel plans.

All clients utilizing our services get free access to the ExploreSecure® Travel Security Training.
