When to visit

The best time to visit Chile is during the spring and fall months of September to November and March to May when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. Summer (December to February) is popular for beach destinations, while winter (June to August) is great for skiing in the Andes.

Getting around

In Chile, the most common ways to get around are by bus, metro, and taxi in cities like Santiago. For longer distances, domestic flights are convenient, especially for reaching remote destinations in Patagonia. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring the country's diverse landscapes.
