Chile 

Two other Chile climbing websites:

This first one is better than it looks at first glance! Check out the climbing area map.

If you're contemplating going to Chile and leaving some gear at home, bear in mind that the cost is going to range for $10 more expensive for harnesses and simple stuff to as much as 30-50% more expensive for things like quickdraws and ropes. If you're looking at these sites, know that 1,000 Chilean pesos is equivalent to about $2.00 US.

Does anyone know of any climbs/bouldering near Villarrica, Chile? I will be moving there for the next couple of months and am not a highly experienced climber (no trad climbing) but would really like to take some of my gear down to experience the area, be outside and get some climbing in. Is it best to go with a guide in this area? If so, does anyone have any recommendations for people I could contact + spots I could look into?

Thank you,
