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 great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

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 $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
