Visited Chile for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing fair.
Spent $57/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $116/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
