Chile: How to avoid VOLCANOES?! Please!:

Please someone help and reply to this. I was looking for some feet on the ground advice about where the best place to live in Chile. That is, the best livable place to avoid the fallout of volcanoes. I'm very interested in Chile and would love to come check it out but I'm running into nothing but pictures with volcanoes in the backdrop. Yikes! All I can think of is Pompeii. And that is very scary. I know there is not a lot of traffic to most of the inquiries on here but I need help. So please anyone/everyone reply. Thank you so much.

Paraguay: You meet good people.:

Hi my family and I have been looking to move to S. America from N. America and have settled on Py after getting out hearts crushed by the exorbitant prices of Uy and the fact there are no automobiles allowed. I've been reading the posts and understand that are some dangerous places there and would like to know where they are as to avoid trouble. We are looking to rent in Asuncion, further the our Spanish from a tutor while the paperwork is done and we find some small plot of land to buy. Anyone reading this as an opportunity to take advantage of "unsuspecting" people beware and repent karma's a bitch and we ain't rich.

Peru: getting frustrated:

My wife and I have been looking to move to South America with out two boys for some time now. We started looking in Uruguay then quickly learned that just purchasing property would brake us an on to of that they do not except importing vehicles, then we looked at Paraguay because of the possibility of cheap land and being able to import a vehicle but then because of the corruption decided it's not worth it. So now looking into Peru but running into a wall about importing a vehicle again! UUGGGHH!!!! What our plans are is to use our money to purchase some undeveloped land, start an eco-friendly off grid bed and breakfast using wind and solar and earth-bad construction for the dwellings. Not to use $25,000 of it buying a new truck and paying a duty tax of 45% of CIF value. So I was wandering if it is possible to ship the vehicle to another part of South America and be able to drive it into Peru and obtain our residency. We have a 2004 Toyota Tundra with 95,000 miles.

Chile: looking for land partners:

My family and I are moving to South America in the beginning of June and are looking to to do the very same thing. Live off-grid grow and raise our own food ad provide our our own electricity through solar and wind. Very cool stuff! Ive been looking in to building with earthbag construction from cal-earth.com also there is an Canadian company that sells rolls a little cheaper. Would love to hear what ideas you've come up with for yourself.
