Extra Tips for Travelers in Santiago
A few practical things to know to make your stay in Santiago stress-free when it comes to healthcare.
Always carry your passport
You will need it to purchase prescription medication at any pharmacy in Chile.
Three main pharmacy chains
Cruz Verde, Salcobrand, and Farmacias Ahumada have locations throughout Santiago. Many open until 10pm; 24h locations exist in Providencia and Las Condes.
Watch for altitude changes
Arriving from Atacama or Andean destinations? Allow a day to acclimatize. Headaches, fatigue, and nausea are common and easily managed.
