Chile Trips & Tours

Where colossal scenery & natural beauty reign supreme and the activities rival the changing latitudes

A long, thin, ribbon-like country that spans almost a quarter of the globe in length – a staggering 4,300-kilometres to be exact – Chile is a land of extremes. Backed by the Andes to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West, scorched deserts give way to bucolic, grape-garlanded vineyards; active volcanoes rub shoulders with glossy lakes and pretty forests; and the needle-sharp glaciers of the ice fields stand stark and proud against a Patagonian wilderness. Add to that a collection of artistic cities, fusion dining and excellent wine, a wild and wonderful cowboy culture, and a history of arts and crafts (and an enigmatic, Polynesian island, two time zones away), and it’s a thrilling, mesmerising and unexpected land to explore. And explore you will! White-water raft on a glacial river or strap on your boots for a hike into unknown terrain; canoe, kayak and enjoy the wildlife-filled national parks or experience 'life on Mars' in the driest desert on earth; ponder the merits of a cabernet versus a carménère in the wine valleys or stroll the maze-like city streets, following your nose to the best seafood in town. Whatever it is that excites you, you’ll find it in Chile.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Chile is a country that works well when combined with any of its South American neighbours, or as its own journey. But remember the old Patagonian saying that, “those who hurry waste their time”, and take the time to enjoy every last piece of this treasure trove.

When to go on a Chile Trip

As you might have guessed from Chile’s impressive length, it’s a country of extreme altitudes and climates, but this also makes it possible to visit at any time of year. Northern Chile, Santiago and the Atacama Desert are enjoyable almost all year round. If you’re visiting Santiago for its ski resorts, hitting the slopes in summer (December to February) is possible but you’ll find the best conditions between early July and August. The notorious Santiago smog lingers between May and October, which may be difficult for anyone with a respiratory condition. And if you’d like to be in Chile for the wine festivals, plan a visit between March and April. Although rain is never a factor in the Atacama, December to February tend to provide the clearest skies, but winter is also a beautiful time to visit when the flowers are in bloom. Conditions in Patagonia are temperamental but you’ll find the most pleasant and activity-friendly weather between November and February (sunrises at El Tatio geyser are particularly stunning). Patagonia is extremely popular and if you’d like to avoid the crowds, a visit between September and October, or between March and April is a good bet. Winter is a no-go because many attractions close and the conditions can make the region difficult to navigate.
For Patagonia, October to April offers the best conditions, though winter (May to September) is prime time for spotting pumas. Hiking, kayaking, and rafting in the Lake District in summer (November to March) is ideal. Easter Island is great year-round, but for clear waters while diving, avoid June to August. Wine lovers shouldn’t miss the harvest festivals in March in Casablanca and the Colchagua Valleys! "
