Has anyone been to Chile recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out

I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.

Planning to go back next month.

Cheers

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Newcastle Nick

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
