Allende was overthrown.

Subject: Flight from Santiago to the islands
a. the airline to Robinson crusoe is provided by, LASSA
b. Approximate cost in US$: $700 roundtrip.
c. Reservations are payable by credit card.
On the islands:
a. There are various hostels to stay in.
a. There are no banks or places to exchange money on the islands.
Thus, you should change money in Santiago. You can budget about US
$50-60/week for food.
b. Minimal other costs as there is not much to spend money on. Some
nice artwork now being done with scavenged black coral.
c. When you arrive in Santiago, you may have to pay a reciprocity tax
before proceeding to immigration. The tax is US$100.
I suggest if anyone is interested they google the Robinson crusoe
islands and find out as much about the place.
