debbiern Posted November 20, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I am planning on going on the Infinity in March, and recently read a post that advised leaving from Valparaiso instead of Buenos Aires due to some departure taxes that amounted to over $100 or more. Does anyone know about this? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! DEBBIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know about this? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! DEBBIEI suspect that this is backwards. Perhaps Argentina has instituted a new departure tax that I am unaware of, but I think it is still US$18. Chile charges a US$100 "reciprocity fee" to US citizen ARRIVING by air [does not apply to land or sea arrivals] into Chile [the US charges Chilean citizens (and most others) US$100 to apply for a US Visa; Chile notes your payment in your passport and you only have to pay it once during the life of your passport (whether your passport has a half a year remaining life or nine and a half is your problem, not Chile's)].

Nancyquilts Posted November 20, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 20, 2007 On the other hand, we got a much better view of the Chilean glaciers by going from Chile to Argentina than the other way around - probably something about the time of day that we passed.
