Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book Torres del Paine accommodation (refugios and camps) 6-12 months ahead for December-February peak season — EcoCamp, refugios, and campsites sell out entirely months in advance.
Easter Island has limited accommodation (around 100 guesthouses and lodges in Hanga Roa) — book 3-6 months ahead for December-March high season.
Santiago hotels in Providencia and Las Condes offer the best combination of safety, transport links, and quality. Avoid booking in or around Estacion Central despite low prices.
Many Chilean hotels offer 10-15% discounts for direct bookings with cash payment, or for bookings made more than 30 days in advance — always ask.
Foreign tourists are legally exempt from Chile's 19% IVA hotel tax when paying in foreign currency (USD) or with a foreign credit card — confirm this exemption when checking in to ensure it's applied to your bill.
