Chile: Good idea or bad?:

My husband and I have been seriously discussing the idea of moving abroad. We are looking for a more temperate climate in a location suitable to spending lots of time out of doors (we enjoy hiking and camping here in Indiana). My husband developed an interest in Latin America after meeting a distant relative who has lived there a number of years (in Ecuador and Peru). We have two little boys and may have more children in the future. Being the protective mama, I've been researching what parts of Latin America are safest and most likely to have decent healthcare if needed. But my husband is also interested in finding a place with a relatively low cost of living. Chile seems to fit the bill fairly well on climate, safety, and cost, so that's the direction we've been leaning. But in reality, we are still in very early stages of this project - we have some student loans and such like to pay off, and we're far from fluent in Spanish. I would love to be able to communicate with expats who already live in Chile, particularly in a fairly central rural area (thinking somewhere outside of Temuco, or that general region of climate). There are so many questions I would love to be able to ask, but the first and biggest one is, "Is this even a sensible idea, or are we crazy?"
