General Information

Chile it is not a cheap country, if you really press for a extreme low cost you will get what you pay for, a bad service. The cost of living in Chile it is high, if you want a good service, you must to pay more. Furthermore, changes in both rates of exchange and fuel, affects directly the costs of services.

Last year the rate of exchange fluctuated between $420 a $550 chilean pesos per american dollar, that means that your price in dollars can be much higher even if in chilean pesos do not changes at all. Normally foreign currency devaluates between november and march; to avoid any unexpected surprise we suggest to confirm and pay in advance the services.
