The best places to visit in Chile
From iconic landmarks to hidden gems — explore the destinations our local insiders recommend most in Chile.
Santiago de Chile
Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, sits in a valley surrounded by the snow-capped Andes and the Chilean Coast Range. Plaza de Armas, the grand heart of the city’s old colonial core, is home to 2 neoclassical landmarks: the 1808 Palacio de la Real Audiencia, housing the National History Museum, and the 18th-century Metropolitan Cathedral.
Explore DestinationSan Pedro de Atacama
San Pedro de Atacama is a town set on an arid high plateau in the Andes mountains of northeastern Chile. Its dramatic surrouding landscape incorporates desert, salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and hot springs. The Valle de la Luna in the nearby Los Flamencos National Reserve is a lunarlike depression with unusual rock formations, a huge sand dune and pink-streaked mountains.
Explore DestinationPucón
Pucón is a town in central Chile's Lake District, lying on Lake Villarrica overlooked by the snow-capped Villarrica volcano. An adventure tourism hub, it's renowned for access to hiking trails, water sports, white-water rafting and kayaking as well as skiing and snowboarding. The surrounding terrain ranges from lakeside beaches to temperate rainforest.
Explore DestinationChiloé, Chile
Be forewarned: wander through Chiloé’s winding gravel roads and sleepy fishing villages and you just might never come back.
Explore DestinationPucon, Chile
Arguably, Pucón’s more authentic rival on the shores of the lake of the same name, Villarrica smacks of genuine Chilean life. Its bustling center teems with locals out doing their shopping, while also providing the creature comforts one hopes for in a destination city, including so many ice cream and gelato options it is easy to overdose on sugar! Grab a cone and wander around; Villarrica opens up into charming little parks and picturesque churches at unexpected moments.
Explore DestinationReal Voices, Real Benefits
We believe travel is more than ticking destinations off a list – it's about discovering new places deeply, feeling connected wherever you go, and knowing you have a trusted team of local experts behind you every step of the way.
The diversity of Chile's landscapes makes it easy for anyone to find a place they love. Visitors who love the ocean should visit Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, two cities on the coast that offer art, culture, and stunning views of the blue Pacific.
Looking for unique rock formations or incredible stargazing opportunities? You will be headed to the Atacama desert, which is the driest desert on the planet.
For the seekers of an Andean adventure, Chilean Patagonia is the place to go. There, visitors will be awestruck by Torres del Paine National Park.
Chile is not just a land of diverse landscapes. It also has a rich culture of art, history, and delicious food, and is also known for world-famous wine & beer.
Chile's climate is ideal for making excellent wine. Concha y Toro, Latin America's largest winegrower is located in Chile's countryside, just an hour from Santiago. Concha y Toro was established in 1883. It is one of Chile's oldest wineries. Spend an afternoon here and be sure to taste the Don Melchor, a superb Cabernet Sauvignon that is the most widely planted grape variety in Chile.
As one of the largest exporters of fish in the world, Chile is well-known for its fast food and delicious cuisine along the coast.
Seafood is abundant along the coastline that runs from the tropics to south. To purchase fresh fish, you can visit Santiago's Mercado Central (Central Market).
High season is November – February
This is generally the best time to visit Chile.
Patagonia's peak season is December to February, and the beaches are crowded from December through January. This is the most expensive season to travel but it's well worth splurging.
Shoulder Season is September – November, and March – May
Best time for maximizing a smaller budget
These are the best time to visit Santiago, temperature-wise. The Lakes District has pleasant weather from September to November, and April brings the brilliant colours of autumn foliage to the south. There are wine festivals and grape harvests in the wine country.
Low Season is June – August
Best time for summer skiing
June to August is the best time to ski in the resorts. It is also a great time to visit the north, as the tourist crowds are less. However, there are not many services available on the Carretera austral due to snow blocking mountain passes. Transportation and accommodation services can be busy in July.
