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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Is Chile still worth visiting in 2026?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
