Chile in May 2012
I am planning on taking my son to Chile/easter island for his college graduation - hence I am limited to a May time frame and about 3 weeks. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on where to go in Chile in May - seems like southern chile may not be feasible due to winter weather - or am I off base on that?? I do not want to do a structured tour and am fine driving but I do not want to waste time driving either. We like to scuba and hike, be outside. I do not like high end fancy type hotels - i would like to find interesting small inns or something like that. thanks

was a great driver/guide/dive master for me there last year
on my road tip... cool places I stayed with discounts
www.hosteriamandala.info
www.bellavistacloudforest.com
www.huaorani.com (best deep amazon)
www.haciendapinsaqui.com Bolivar stayed there
Many great Galapagos boats ecoventura.com my fav
Careful many scammers on the boards particularly
on Tripadvertizer boards where the spouse of an agent
scams clueless newbies on crap bunk bed motorsailers
at inflated prices on Archipel Samaba Fargata Eden
so use only REPUTABLE locals for best discounts.
Do Chile in Jan/Feb when warmest...
Happy Planning!

I loved Chile and Easter Island on my winter visit (mine was July into August, rather than May) but didn't go to the south due to the weather. (It was the only time I could go.) I really recommend spending some time in the Atacama, and Rapa Nui/Easter Island was a marvelous experience. Here's my trip report with a few ideas; I went solo and independently, except that I did an all-inclusive trip to the Atacama: http://www.fodors.com/community/sout...rip-report.cfm
