Prices in Chile
Chile is a relatively inexpensive country, but it certainly isn’t cheap. Most prices are approximately three-quarters of their North Americans and Europeans equivalents. Electronic equipment and imported goods like brand name clothes are more expensive. Easter Island is the most expensive part of the country.

All 4 -and 5-star hotels, and the vast majority of large stores, hotels and restaurants accept VISA, MasterCard, DINER’S, and AMERICAN EXPRESS. There is, however, often a surcharge placed on credit card transactions, so sometimes cash purchases will work out cheaper
