The best places to visit in Chile
From iconic landmarks to hidden gems — explore the destinations our local insiders recommend most in Chile.
San Pedro de Atacama
Overlooking the snow‑capped Licancabur volcano, San Pedro de Atacama rests on the edge of the high‑altitude desert of the Puna de Atacama. The town belongs to Chile’s Antofagasta Region, lying about 106 km southeast of Calama and the Chuquicamata copper mine. Its name is shared by the surrounding commune in El Loa Province.
Explore DestinationSantiago
Gran Torre Santiago, the tallest building in South America, dominates the skyline of Chile’s capital. Santiago de Chile sits in a broad valley between the Andes and the Chilean Coastal Range, serving as the political and economic core of the nation. The city’s historic grid, laid out in 1541 around the Plaza de Armas, still guides visitors through its neoclassical core and surviving colonial churches.
Explore DestinationChiloe
Colorful houses perched on stilts define the visual rhythm of Chiloé, a large island off the coast of Chile. The island’s settlements spread across a landscape of rolling hills and coastal inlets, where the sea meets forested interiors. Though modest in population, the community’s identity is anchored in architecture and food that differ sharply from mainland patterns.
Explore DestinationPucon
A massive, snow‑capped volcano rises directly behind the town’s waterfront, casting a permanent silhouette over Lake Villarrica. Pucon is a resort town in Chile’s Araucanía region, perched on the lake’s western shore and framed by the Andes. With roughly 20,000 residents, it serves as the gateway to a cluster of protected areas that define the southern Lake District.
Explore DestinationVillarrica
Villarrica commands the western shore of Villarrica Lake while the cone of the active Villarrica Volcano rises behind it, a backdrop that defines the town’s character. The city and commune belong to the Cautín Province in Chile’s Araucanía Region, some 746 km south of Santiago. Its residents, known as Villarricences, have turned the blend of lake, volcano and forest into a year‑round attraction.

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.
