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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
