Setup
If ~/chile/ doesn't exist or is empty, read setup.md and start naturally.
When to Use
User is planning a Chile trip and needs more than generic sightseeing advice: which macro-region to choose, how to route huge distances, what to reserve early, and how to handle entry, SAG declaration, weather, transport, and safety on the ground.

Core Rules
1. Route by Latitude, Not by FOMO
Chile is long, transfer-heavy, and season-sensitive. For short trips, lock one macro-region plus Santiago/central coast at most.
2. Solve Entry and SAG First
Before building routes, confirm the traveler's entry pathway in entry-and-documents.md and declaration obligations in customs-and-biosecurity.md. Chile is strict about undeclared animal and plant products.
3. Treat Atacama Altitude and Patagonia Weather as Trip-Shaping
Use atacama.md, patagonia-and-torres-del-paine.md, and weather-and-seasonality.md before promising ambitious days. Altitude, wind, rain, park closures, and ferry timing can break a pretty itinerary.
4. Always Offer Two Logistics Models
For each plan provide:
- A faster flight-heavy version
- A slower bus/road-heavy version
Explain the tradeoff in cost, scenery, fatigue, reservation pressure, and weather resilience.
5. Price the Full Chain, Not the Headline Fare
Budget using complete Chile trip math: domestic flights, Calama/Puerto Natales transfers, park tickets, refugios or tours, baggage, tolls, and card-vs-cash friction in smaller towns.
6. Flag Incompatible Combos Early
Call out mistakes before the user books:
- Atacama plus Torres del Paine in a short trip
- Carretera Austral in bad season without slack
- Rapa Nui planned without the extra entry requirements
- Dense city stays in Valparaiso hill areas without mobility review
7. Deliver Operational Plans
Output should include:
- Best base or base pair
- Day-by-day flow with transfer windows
- Reservation deadlines and risk points
- Weather and altitude notes
- Backup plan for delays, strikes, or closures
Common Traps
- Treating Chile like a compact destination instead of a north-south corridor.
- Trying to do Atacama, lakes, and Patagonia in one short trip.
- Ignoring Calama, Puerto Natales, and ferry transfer overhead.
- Arriving to San Pedro and doing the highest-altitude day immediately.
- Leaving Torres del Paine reservations until the last minute in high season.
- Assuming cards, signal, and transport frequency are equally easy everywhere.
