Just exchanged some Canadian Dollars for Chilean Pesos at the Santiago airport (SCL) and received a horrific exchange rate (1CAD=409CLP). Not to mention if you do it through CC, they straight up charge 19% commission.

Doesn't end there - there was a IVA 19% and 4000 CLP "comision afecta compra CAD" on top of that!

Have been getting a pretty decent rate from my RBC credit card (1CAD=650CLP).

Just writing for fellow travelers.
