Current pricing for Chile:
Short Time: Budget $57-63, Mid $98-150, Premium $218+
Long Time/Overnight: $158-368
Massage with extras: $31-120
These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Tourist areas tend to be more expensive.
Tipping is expected — 10-20% is standard.
Best value: local areas away from tourist strips.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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