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
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.
