Do you mean Chile? If so, yes, you may learn more, but remember that we don't the same words nor with the same meaning in all the Spanish country, remember there are always regionalism that may not be the same either the meaning.
My stepfather is Chilean, he's from Santiago de Chile. Avoid the words "pico" "chucha" (shoosha) those are not good words there, just use to make jokes or to insult someone.

No closer than living in menudo or posole.
Chili is a Texas stew consisting chiefly of meat, onions, and hot peppers.
If, however, you were to move to the South American nation of Chile, and place yourself in a situation where you had no choice but to speak Spanish, you would quickly become very fluent in Chilean Spanish.
Spanish, like English, differs from nation to nation, so if you became fluent in Chilean Spanish and then spent time in Ecuador, you would notice some differences -- just as a Canadian would in Australia.

Well, if you live in Chili for 2 months you'll be dead! LOL
But if you go to Chile, you will learn a lot. Only
problem I can see is that you will learn a lot
of regional vocabulary and phrases so if
you go to, say, Mexico, some of it will be
unintelligible to the natives. I say, ¡buen viaje
y muy buena suerte!

Five years? It all depends on how well you used that time. Nobody can predict how "close" to fluency you are right now, nor how "closer" you'll be after your visit to Chile. Not us, who don't know you.
It will certainly help you.
Buena suere con tu aprendizaje.
