    Hi Paul,

    I am also planning a trip to Chile, leaving on the 18th of August.

    I booked my flights with Iberia.

    The vaccinations I got were Diptheria, Polio, Hep A, Tetanus and Typhoid. They advise you to get them about 4 weeks before you go, ten days minimum.

    If you have any advice in relation to travel insurance it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you :)

    Jeepers I went to Chile and got no injections. Every street and bank is called O'Higgins! Its a while since I went. I went with Avienca I think they were called.

    Freed Chile from the Spanish... Bernardo O'Higgins was of Irish and Basque descent. He was destined to be a soldier with that heritage :D
