Do I need cash in Chile?

Unlike some other South American countries US dollars are rarely accepted in Chile except in some hotels. Therefore we recommend you have some pesos in cash. However, you are unlikely to be able to get Chilean Pesos in your home country and if you can you are not likely to get a good exchange rate.

Does Chile accept American Express?

The official currency is the Chilean Peso. MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Diners Club are regularly accepted throughout the country, though visitors should not count on being able to use their card in rural areas.
