Santiago
Chile’s vibrant capital with museums, lively neighborhoods, and easy access to nearby wineries and Andes day trips.
In Atacama, guided tours are highly recommended for El Tatio geysers, salt flats, and astronomy nights. Many companies allow day-before booking in San Pedro, but popular tours (sunrise geysers, multi-day salt flat trips, observatory visits) can sell out—reserve ahead when possible.
Acclimatize and consider altitude meds
San Pedro sits ~2,400–3,000+m and sites like El Tatio exceed 4,000–5,000m. Start acetazolamide a day or two earlier if you plan to use it and allow gentle activity upon arrival. Watch for altitude sickness symptoms and plan slower mornings after high-altitude excursions.
Allow more time for both Atacama and Patagonia if possible
Both regions deserve extra days—two full days in Atacama is tight for major sights; Torres del Paine benefits from multiple days for hikes and weather delays. If you must cut, prioritize Patagonia over squeezing in extras like Easter Island or long cross-border drives.
Driving vs tours and border crossings
Renting a car gives flexibility in Patagonia, but guided day hikes are safer for challenging routes (e.g., French Valley, Grey). Crossing into Argentina with a rental can have restrictions—confirm with your rental company, carry passports, and check insurance/permission for border crossings.
Pack layers and weather-ready gear
Chile’s climates vary widely: hot/dry in the north, Mediterranean near Santiago, cold/windy/wet in the south. Bring a waterproof shell, warm base layers, hat and gloves, sturdy hiking shoes, sun protection for the desert, and check local airline baggage rules for regional flights.
Money, cards and connectivity
Cards work widely but carry some Chilean pesos (CLP) for small vendors and remote areas; USD cash is accepted only in tourist services. Bring at least two cards in case of issues. Choose a local SIM (Entel recommended for broad coverage) or check roaming options for remote regions.
Safety and logistics in cities
Use metro in Santiago for efficient travel but avoid rush-hour crowds with valuables exposed. Prefer Uber/Cabify at night. Be cautious with pickpocketing on buses and busy tourist spots, don’t leave belongings unattended, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
FAQ
Chile Trip Planning FAQs
Discover everything you need to plan your dream vacation to Chile. From travel tips to itinerary advice, we’ve got you covered!
The best time depends on the region: visit December–March for warm weather in central Chile and the Lake District, November–March for Patagonia trekking, and March–October for clear skies in the Atacama Desert.
Many nationalities can enter Chile visa-free for short stays; check current Chilean consulate information for your country and ensure your passport has sufficient validity.
A 10–14 day trip allows you to experience Santiago, Valparaíso, a wine region, and either the Atacama or Patagonia; shorter 5–7 day trips can focus on one region.
Routine vaccinations should be up to date; Hepatitis A and typhoid are commonly recommended for travelers to Chile—consult your doctor for personalized advice and any region-specific precautions.
Domestic flights are the fastest way to cover long distances (e.g., Santiago to Punta Arenas or Calama), while buses and rental cars work well for regional exploration and scenic drives.
