I think that Chile will be better than isalnds. Lots of food grown there - they export fruits and vegetables all over the world. Should be pleanty of beef from Argentina.

Chile is also still in a post-Allende post Pinoche period, where avoiding political extremes is the way to get ahead.

Educated populations, significant number of non-Catholics, so some diversity and tolerance on the religeous side.

It's also WAY out of range of most missiles and most bombers without mid-air refueling capability. If the Russians could use Venezuela as a base, the Northern part of Chile would be with in range. However, the path would be overland, with lots of radars, and a Bear Bomber (truboprop) has a huge radar signature.

Chile also has modern hospitals, infrastructure, etc.

It does lack oil, but Argentina and Ecuador have oil. I expect some trade can be arranged.

Islands tend to run out of things when ships and planes are stopped.

Being in the Southern Hemsiphere, there will far less fallout, and it will be delayed, meaning more half-lifes to decay.
