Thank you so much! I'll definitely read your blog post.
I read that Santiago has a subway system? Does it go all the way to the airport? Is it possible to take transit from the airport to the Centric? How much was your Uber ride?
Is it possible to use only my credit cards in Santiago, or I'll need to buy some pesos?
One last thing, and I think you briefly mentioned the requirement of a PCR test to enter Chile. Is that still the case? I'm not very enthusiastic about doing the PCR test, to be honest with you. I see a relatively cheap fare to Santiago in June 2022 and January 2023. I'm thinking of buying both and going twice to experience winter and summer in Santiago. What do you think?
