My first visit to Santiago, I’m coming from USA. Planning on exploring the city and skiing Valle Nevado. A few questions:

  • do I need to power adapter AND power converter for my US electronics?
  • I was thinking of using Skitotal for rental ski gear and shuttle up to the resort. Is that a good one? Other groups I should consider?
  • what is the tipping culture like Chile?
  • does Uber work down there? Best way to get from airport to hotel?
  • other than skiing at Valle Nevado, what else do I need to experience in Santiago? Museums, historical sites etc. are there any soccer matches in august? Or other pro sports? Restaurants? Food?
  • is it true drinking water from faucet is completely safe?
