Chile Travel FAQ’s

When is the best time to visit Chile?

The best time to visit Chile is during the shoulder seasons of October – November or March – April, when travelers can explore the country in comfortable weather that is neither too hot or too cold.

However, for those who prefer the outdoors and hot temperatures, the summer season from December – March might be the best time to visit the beach towns of La Serena or hike the surrounding areas of Santiago de Chile. While those who enjoy winter sports and fewer crowds, the winter season from June – August is a wonderful time to visit one of Chile’s most notable ski resorts. Ultimately Chile has a wide range of landscapes that are accessible year-round, like the breathtaking Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world, or the quaint island of Chiloe, with its picturesque stilt houses. There’s something for everyone in Chile.

Is Chile expensive to travel?

Yes, Chile is expensive to travel to and around in comparison to other South American countries. Living standards are European and so are the prices. In Santiago and in the hotels expect to pay prices as in the US. However, taxes are included in restaurant prices & bills and tipping is only 10%!

When should I visit the Atacama?

You can visit the Atacama desert anytime. It is the driest desert on the planet, it never rains, and the sun always shines. Just beware of cold nights due to the high altitude! Especially in June, July, August.
