Culture & Etiquette

Chileans often speak quickly and use local slang. Asking for slower speech is common and useful.

Many Chileans have once, a tea-style evening meal with bread, avocado, cheese, or sweets.

Santiago metro and buses use the Bip! card. Buy and load it before riding.

In Patagonia, the coast, and the Andes, carry layers and plan for wind even in good weather.
