FAQs
Can I travel to Chile?

Yes! There are no special requirements. However, if you are planning to visit Eastern Island, some paperwork must be done before your visit. Contact us and learn more.

What is the best time of year to visit Chile?

Chile can be visited all year round, but it depends on the area of the country you want to visit when it will be better. Chile is a country of extremes and that’s why the climate and landscape are so varied, just like Argentina. The best time to visit Patagonia is in our summer because the climate is warmer and therefore there are more activities available. If you want to visit the vineyards or the north of the country (Atacama Desert) you can do it all year round, but in winter the north has more pleasant temperatures.

How many days I need to visit Chile?

At least 1 week, the best is to stay 3 nights or more in each area, so it also depends on how many places you want to visit.

Do I need a visa to visit Chile?

It is very important to check the updated information of the Consulates and Embassies of your country. You can apply for an online visa (up to 90 days of validation) on the official websites of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can find more detailed information about how to apply for a Chilean visa in our Argentina Travel Guide.

What are the "must-see" of Chile?

Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia, the Lakes District in Northern Patagonia, the capital and vineyard area in the center of the country, and the Atacama Desert in the North.

Is it safe to travel to Chile?
