Lakes, deserts, volcanoes and the metropolis of Santiago – Chile has a real box of tricks to offer tourists.
The best time to visit will depend on what you want to do, though. Unless you want to do it all, in which case there are a few things you need to know.
Find out below.
We recommend visiting between September to November and March to May.
Between September and November the temperature in Santiago hovers around 15℃, give or take. It's a similar story in April. The coldest months are June and July when the mercury sits around 9℃. At this time of year it can get pretty cold in Chilean Patagonia. Thermometers are no strangers to -1℃ and -2℃.
Summer hits the southern hemisphere between November and March, so Chile is no exception. Unfortunately, the high temperatures come with high tourist numbers. Plan your visit either side of this time and you should still benefit from warm weather and just manage to escape the worst crowds and highest hotel prices too.
