dalgirl Posted December 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We plan to get some local currency from our bank to use in Chile for small purchases such as lunch, souvenirs, etc. Do you think $100 will be enough? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If for one day sure but if for a few days you might want more. Now in large places just use credit card. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4774Papa Posted December 25, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2015 It is safe and easy to use ATMs in Chile. If you take US dollars, make sure the bills are clean, unmarked and not torn. Credit cards are widely accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradshore13 Posted December 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They take USD in souvenir markets. Vineyards take credit cards. Super markets will not take USD. Restaurants take local currency and credit cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
