July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in April 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pisco Elqui Airbnb took in CLP 7,677,200 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 462,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about CLP 822,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CLP 235,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CLP 482,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CLP 400,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
