Best Time To Visit
Chile’s extraordinary coastal length means it offers distinct climates and travel opportunities throughout the year.
Summer (from December to February) is perfect for exploring Patagonia, where trails are open, wildlife is active, and coastal towns bask in warm sunshine.
Autumn (from March to May) is harvest season in the wine valleys, with vineyard tours framed by golden hillsides and vibrant foliage.
Winter (from June to August) brings crisp desert days in the Atacama and excellent skiing in the Andes near Santiago, while spring (from September to November) transforms the central valleys and Lake District into a lush, flower-filled landscape with fewer visitors and mild, comfortable temperatures.
“November through March is summer in Chile, ideal for exploring its diverse regions,” says Destination Specialist Melissa Matheson.

What do the experts say?
Pastel de choclo, sweet corn baked over savoury meat, olives, and eggs, is a must-try. Pair it with a pisco sour or a glass of Carménère or Sauvignon Blanc.
Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, offers a profound spiritual connection to nature and culture. The night skies, volcanic landscapes, and iconic Moai statues make it one of the most isolated and romantic places on earth.
Chile’s diversity is unmatched. You can enjoy wine tasting in the Casablanca Valley, watch the sunset on the Pacific coast, stargaze in the Atacama Desert, trek the glaciers of Patagonia, and even escape to mystical Rapa Nui, all in one trip.
