Credit and debit cards, such as Visa, MasterCard, Dinners Club and sometimes American Express are widely accepted in Chile. Traveler's checks in US Dollars, for the best exchange rate, are accepted although you may experience some difficulty exchanging them outside major cities.
We recommend that you contact your bank before your trip to see what options are available to you and to inform them of your pending departure. This should eliminate any concern they may have when you start to use your cards in a foreign country.
Alexandra Berley USA I highly recommend Escuela Fronteras to anyone looking for an amazing way to learn Spanish. The instructors are very knowledgeable and kind and the staff is extremely accommodating. Their consideration exceeded my expectations and they did a phenomenal job of making my time in Chile everything I hoped it would be. I didn't want to leave!! Thanks again!
