The murder rates in the other countries are mostly drug related gang on gang violence. I've spent the past four years in Latin America (Mexico, Guatemala, and Chile (was in Startup Chile)) and found Chile to be the sketchiest of places for lesser crimes against tourists like non-violent theft, or assault.

I lived in an apartment with three others, and we were all robbed during the 8 months in Santiago, violently in some cases, and non-violently in other cases. I knew lots of others who were also robbed.

The rest of my years in other Latin American countires, including hitchhiking from Chile back up to Guatemala after Startup Chile was completely safe and uneventful.
