From the otherworldly landscapes of the Atacama Desert in the north to the towering peaks of Torres del Paine in Patagonia, Chile offers travelers an unparalleled diversity of experiences. The country's unique geography creates distinct climatic zones, allowing visitors to ski in the Andes and sunbathe on Pacific beaches during the same season.

Beyond its natural wonders, Chile boasts a sophisticated cultural scene, world-class wineries, and a rich history that blends indigenous traditions with European influences. Santiago, the cosmopolitan capital, serves as a gateway to the country's treasures with its vibrant neighborhoods, innovative cuisine, and thriving arts community.

Trending Locations

Torres del Paine National Park

Patagonia, Southern Chile

  • The iconic granite towers (Torres)
  • Grey Glacier and its luminous blue ice
  • Diverse wildlife including guanacos and pumas

Torres del Paine represents the crown jewel of Chilean Patagonia, where jagged granite peaks rise dramatically above turquoise lakes and sprawling glaciers. The park's famous W and O Circuits attract hikers from across the globe, offering some of South America's most spectacular trekking experiences. With its ever-changing weather patterns and extraordinary light conditions, the park provides photographers and nature enthusiasts with endless opportunities to witness Patagonia's untamed beauty.

San Pedro de Atacama

Atacama Desert, Northern Chile

  • Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) with its otherworldly landscapes
  • El Tatio Geysers, the highest geyser field in the world
  • Exceptional stargazing opportunities in the clearest skies

Set in the world's driest non-polar desert, San Pedro de Atacama feels like stepping onto another planet. This charming adobe town serves as the gateway to surreal landscapes of salt flats, volcanoes, and geothermal fields. By day, visitors explore multicolored valleys and flamingo-dotted lagoons; by night, they marvel at the Milky Way through world-class telescopes. The region's extraordinary preservation of ancient Atacameño culture adds a fascinating historical dimension to this geological wonderland.

Valparaíso

Central Coast, Chile

  • Colorful hillside neighborhoods with bohemian character
  • Historic funiculars (ascensores) connecting the hills
  • Vibrant street art and murals throughout the city

Cascading down steep coastal hills to the Pacific, Valparaíso captivates visitors with its artistic soul and architectural chaos. This UNESCO World Heritage port city is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, stairways, and viewpoints where no two buildings share the same color. Once Chile's most important port, 'Valpo' reinvented itself as a cultural hub where poets, painters, and musicians draw inspiration from its gritty beauty and maritime history. Pablo Neruda's former home, La Sebastiana, offers both insight into the Nobel laureate's life and panoramic views of this endlessly photogenic city.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui)

Polynesian Island, Eastern Pacific Ocean (Chilean territory)

  • Nearly 900 monumental moai statues
  • Rano Kau volcano crater and ceremonial village of Orongo
  • Anakena Beach with white coral sands

Located 3,700 kilometers from the Chilean mainland, Easter Island remains one of the world's most isolated and mysterious destinations. The enigmatic moai statues—massive stone figures carved by the Rapa Nui people—stand as silent sentinels across the volcanic landscape. Beyond the archaeological wonders, the island offers excellent snorkeling in crystal waters, hiking trails with spectacular ocean views, and a living Polynesian culture that has survived against tremendous odds. Despite its small size, Easter Island's remote location and fascinating history make it an unforgettable addition to any Chilean itinerary.

Chilean Lake District

Los Lagos Region, South-Central Chile

  • Osorno Volcano with its perfect snow-capped cone
  • German-influenced towns like Puerto Varas and Frutillar
  • Ancient araucaria forests and national parks

Often compared to Switzerland for its alpine scenery, the Chilean Lake District blends pristine nature with European cultural influences. Emerald lakes reflect the perfect cones of snow-capped volcanoes, while dense temperate rainforests harbor unique flora and fauna. The region's charming lakeside towns showcase German architectural heritage through wooden chalets, gardens, and kuchen (cake) traditions brought by 19th-century settlers. Adventure opportunities abound, from kayaking on Lake Llanquihue to hiking in Huerquehue National Park or soaking in natural hot springs beneath the stars.

Guidelines for Cultural Awareness

  • Chileans typically greet with a kiss on the right cheek, even in business settings. When meeting someone for the first time, a handshake is appropriate, but expect the kiss greeting in subsequent meetings.
  • Punctuality is flexible in Chile—arriving 15-30 minutes late to social gatherings is normal and sometimes expected. However, for business meetings, being on time is appreciated.
  • When dining out, the check won't be brought until you ask for it ('la cuenta, por favor'). Requesting it earlier isn't considered rude and tipping 10% is standard in restaurants.
  • Chileans are proud of their wine culture—never pour wine backward (with the label facing down) as this is considered disrespectful to the winemaker. Always pour with the label facing up.
  • The indigenous Mapuche culture remains important in Chile, particularly in the south. When visiting cultural sites or communities, ask permission before taking photographs and approach sacred areas with respect.

Suggestions for Evening Activities

  • Experience Santiago's thriving jazz scene at Club de Jazz de Santiago in the Ñuñoa neighborhood, where local and international musicians perform in an intimate venue with excellent acoustics.
  • Attend a performance at Teatro Municipal de Santiago, a magnificent 19th-century opera house hosting world-class ballet, opera, and classical concerts throughout the year.
  • Join a local astronomy tour in the Elqui Valley, where professional guides use powerful telescopes to reveal the southern hemisphere's celestial wonders in one of the world's premier stargazing locations.
  • Visit Chipe Libre in Santiago's Lastarria district, a 'República Independiente del Pisco' showcasing both Chilean and Peruvian piscos with expert mixologists creating innovative cocktails.
  • Experience a traditional peña folklórica, where local musicians perform cueca (Chile's national dance) and other folk traditions while guests enjoy typical Chilean food and wine.
