Rudy me old mate, I envy you!!!!
I have a mate in Chile but his English is as good as my Spanish!

Here is a snip that Bernie wrote on his trip to the Galapagos Islands, I do
not remember the digest # but I think there may be more references around
the 20th of February 2004?
I took this from my own archives....

GALAPAGOS/ECUADOR RAINFOREST TRIP REPORT

SECURITY AND EQUIPMENT - before leaving, I made a list of all
equipment in both English and Spanish and presented it to security
and customs at each point. The equipment was broken down into its
constituent parts and hand-carried in a small (8"x 10"x 16" or 3.2cm
x 4cm x 6.4cm) in size. That included an M-S system with tripod,
preamp, Rykote windscreen, batteries, 10m of cable; a pair of ECM55s,
a hydrophone (w/ 10m cable) and miscellaneous connectors and wires
and 12 DAT tapes. Result: not a single question or problem at any
point in the trip.

Hope this helps some

Hi There,

I'll be spending 10 days in Santiago Chile and the immediately
surrounding areas in a few weeks. It's a trip with family, but I plan
to do some casual recording. Any suggestions for natural (or urban)
soundscape recording opportunities would be most appreciated.

Any good web resources on Chilean bird life?

Finally, anyone care to re-cap air travel and customs advice when
carrying moderate amounts of sound gear?

Finally, how about passing through Brasil? We fly through Sau Palo,
and I heard that Brasil has imposed immigration processing
requirements on US citizens similar to those imposed by the US
(fingerprinting, etc.).

Any thoughts on the above would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Rudy
