I came on UnuRaymi’s website by accident and wrote to them on WhatsApp. They were incredibly responsive and took the time to structure the perfect tour for me. Starting at Lima, all the way to Cusco, the rainbow mountain, the amazon jungle and Machu Picchu, I felt very well taken care of and I would recommend them to anyone trying to travel to Peru !

Travel Director

Discover the colourful fishing town of Puerto Natales

See the bright rooftops of Puerto Natales, a fishing town in the Señoret Channel in southern Patagonia. It’s the famous gateway to Torres del Paine, but the city has its own treasures. Take a walk along the waterfront where you can spot wild swans and ducks, and admire the backdrop of rugged mountains.

Visit Torres del Paine National Park

Venture deep into UNESCO-listed crown jewel of Chilean Patagonia with our Local Specialists. Explore the churning Salto Grande waterfall and the famous peaks of the Cordillera Paine. Take a boat ride to see the Grey Glacier and embark on hikes to see the incredible natural icons up close.

See the icy turquoise sheets of the Serrano Glacier

We’ll take you on a spectacular boat ride through icy fjords to see the glittering blue Serrano Glacier. Join our Local Specialists for a hike through the unspoiled rainforest to Seno de Última Esperanza (Fjord of the Last Hope), where you’ll enjoy magnificent views of the Southern Patagonian Icefield.

Boat up the Rio Serrano

Our Chile private tours will take you on a boat journey up the Rio Serrano, a river winding through the Magallanes wilderness of Chile. The Serrano takes you past a trove of natural beauty, from the dazzling blue Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers, to the Southern Patagonian Icefield and Seno de Última Esperanza.

Explore the capital of Chile, colorful Santiago

Santiago is the vibrant capital of Chile and our Local Specialists will reveal the wonders of the city. Climb Cerro Santa Lucia for panoramic views, explore the Central Market and sample local delicacies, or visit the Casablanca Valley where you’ll meet a local winemaker and enjoy an exclusive tasting in the beautiful vineyards.

Our top 5 things to do in Chile

Discover the highlights and hidden gems of the country on our Chile vacation tours, from the jagged peaks of Torres del Paine to the scenic beauty of the Rio Serrano.

Chascona House Museum

Located in the Bellavista neighborhood of Santiago, Chascona House was the home of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. He named the home ‘La Chascona’ (‘tangle-haired woman’) after his wife Matilde, and today it’s an excellent museum full of his personal possessions, including a painting by Diego Rivera.

Museum of Memory and Human Rights

Set in Santiago, the Museum of Memory and Human Rights was founded to commemorate the victims of human rights abuses during the regime of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet between 1973 and 1990. The museum has three floors with audio exhibits, interactive photography, newspaper archives and video footage of detention centres.

Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts

Housed in a beautiful building across from the Parque Forestal in Santiago, the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts holds one of the finest collections of Chilean and Latin art. You’ll wander through the spectacular entrance to discover over 5,000 works ranging from Spanish paintings to African sculptures.

Best museums in Chile

Our escorted tours of Chile take you to the country’s top museums, from the former home of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, to a commemoration of the victims of the Pinochet regime.

Traditionally made from deep-fried wheat dough, a sopaipilla is South America’s version of doughnuts. In Chile, they’re made with pumpkin in the dough, and served as a side dish with pebre, a chili sauce, or as a delicious dessert after being boiled in a chancaca sauce, a hot sweet syrup.

A classic Chilean condiment found across the country, pebre is served with many meals including fried sopaipilla, or spread on bread and meat. It’s a sauce of chili pepper, garlic, onion, olive oil and coriander, although variations can be found in different regions and households.

Empanadas are a beloved dish across Latin America. In Chile, they’re traditionally made with a filling called ‘pino’, a mix of ground beef, raisins, onions, black olives and hard boiled eggs. Our Local Specialists will show you where to try the best empanadas at any time of the year.

Best food in Chile

We’ll take you on a culinary journey through Chile, as we reveal the best places to try classic empanadas and delicious sopaipilla.

What to pack for Chile

People packing for a tour

Hiking shoes

Whether you’re trekking the snowy peaks of Patagonia, or traversing ancient volcanoes in the Atacama Desert, you’ll need a sturdy pair of shoes in Chile.

Wind and waterproof coat

The southern region of Chile is known for its fierce winds and chilly weather, so you’ll need a reliable coat to protect you from the elements.

Reusable water bottle

Chile is full of outdoor adventure and a reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated without contributing to the plastic waste in the pristine national parks.

Adaptor plug

In Chile the standard voltage is 220 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type C and L. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Chile is enormous, spanning the equivalent of the entire length of the USA, and a pair of headphones will provide entertainment on the long scenic journeys.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Best time to visit chile.

Chile’s substantial length ensures the climate is incredibly varied. From deserts and coastlines to glaciers and wine regions, Chile has it all. The best time to visit really depends on the activities you’d like to do.

For hiking and horseback riding in Chilean Patagonia, the summer months of November to February offer the best conditions to explore, with plenty of daylight and tame weather (though it's best to be prepared for any and all conditions in Patagonia!). Summer is also the prime time to visit the Atacama Desert as warm day and night temperatures lend themselves to hiking its lunar-like terrain.

For snow hounds, winter (June to August) is where it's at. Thick powder blankets the slopes around Santiago, creating great conditions for skiing and snowboarding.

Fall, which coincides with harvest season, is a great time to indulge in Chile’s world-renowned drops in Casablanca, Colchagua and Maipo valleys, while spring offers a good mix of mild-ish temperatures and smaller crowds.

History and culture

With the Andes on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, Chile’s geographic isolation has resulted in a distinct national identity. About 95 per cent of Chileans share a mixture of European (predominantly Spanish) and Indigenous ancestry. 

For many, being Chilean often means celebrating huaso (Chilean cowboy) culture, going to rodeos, dancing the cueca (Chile’s national dance performed in traditional huaso clothing), eating empanadas and drinking pisco. 

Spanish is the national language, though Chileans tend to speak fast, drop consonants and litter their speech with a healthy dose of chilenismos (Chilean slang). 

Life is centered around the family with frequent get-togethers to share food in good company. More than half of Chileans are Roman Catholics and there’s a growing number (estimated at 25 per cent of the population) who are ‘unaffiliated’ – choosing not to identify with a religion. 

While many Chileans are traditional in their views, the younger generations are challenging cultural norms and politics is often a passionate topic among youths. 

Geography and environment

Chile is a land of dramatic geographical characteristics, most noticeably its incredible length. As one of the world's longest, narrowest countries – measuring 2653 miles long, yet only 277 miles wide – Chile covers a massive geographic scale that includes a variety of landscapes and an impressive coastline.

Straddled by the epic Andes, this gigantic mountain range acts as a natural border with Argentina in the east, while the Pacific Ocean – including the remote Chilean territory of Easter Island – forms the western coastline.

The capital and largest city, Santiago, lies inland, roughly in the center of the country. Further north, Chile shares a border with Peru and Bolivia, as well as the largest section of the parched Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. 

South of Santiago, Chile unfolds into the wilderness playground of Patagonia, a largely uninhabited, prehistoric landscape made up of mountains, forests, lakes and glacial fjords.

Eating and drinking

Potatoes, corn and quinoa are staple ingredients in Chilean cuisine. The country’s extensive coastline provides an array of seafood and there are many marisquerias (fish restaurants) where you can try everything from picorocos (barnacles) to erizos (sea urchin) and, of course, ceviche. 

Chileans also love their meat. Like in Brazil and Argentina, a leisurely asado (barbeque) is a cherished tradition. Held in a backyard or a specially equipped park, asados can last for hours and always feature lots of grilled beef, pork, sausages, lamb and Chilean wine. If you don’t get invited to an asado by a local, head to a parrillada (barbeque restaurant) instead.

Here are some must-try Chilean foods and drinks: 

1. Mote con huesillo

Dried peaches and husked wheat are stewed in a sugary syrup to create Chile’s favorite summertime treat. Served with ice, it’s the perfect reward after a long day of exploring.  

2. Pastel de choclo

A hearty Andean pie of ground beef or chicken and vegetables topped with pureed sweet corn. 

The perfect dish to warm your bones on a cold day, cazuela is a thin stew of chicken or beef with corn on the cob, potatoes, pumpkin and noodles. Do as the locals and drink the broth first. 

These corn cakes are a mix of ground corn, butter, eggs, cheese and seasoning steamed in corn husks. They’re popular in other South American countries, too, but in Chile, they’re typically eaten with a tomato and onion salad. 

5. Empanadas de pino

Empanadas are a mainstay across South America, but the classic Chilean version, empanadas de pino, is a mix of ground beef, onions, hard-boiled eggs, black olives and raisins. They’re also square-shaped and bigger than other empanadas. 

6. Pisco sour

Both Peru and Chile claim the origins of the Pisco sour, but either way, the drink is deeply ingrained in Chilean culture. Pisco, a type of grape brandy, is shaken with lime juice and sugar syrup and poured over ice into a stemmed glass. It’s extra delicious in the summer.

Must-visit places in Chile

With so much on offer in Chile, from glacier trekking to wine tasting, it can be hard to choose which places to visit. Here are a few highlights to consider.

1. Santiago

Santiago is Chile's alluring capital. Set in a circle of snow-capped peaks, it’s also a stone's throw from outdoor adventures (if you can ever leave, that is). From grand buildings in artsy neighborhoods to a brilliant food and nightclub scene, Santiago tops many travelers’ ‘favorite South American city’ list.

2. Valparaiso

With its color-popping buildings, mural-filled streets and laneways lined with cafes, bars and galleries, Valparaiso is Chile's creative capital. Sip pisco sours on rooftops in the historic center, chat with local artists or visit a restaurant credited with the invention of chorrillana, a traditional bar dish of fries topped with beef strips, sauteed onions and eggs.

3. Patagonia

Chile and Argentina both stake a claim over Patagonia – and it's no wonder when the region is made up of rolling grasslands flanked by snow-clad peaks, beech-fringed lakes and giant glaciers. Patagonia was practically made for adventuring.

4. San Pedro de Atacama

Welcome to the driest town on earth. San Pedro de Atacama is also home to some of Chile's – and probably South America’s – most dramatic landscapes, from hissing geysers to volcanoes and salt flats. Go sandboarding in the dunes, hike through the aptly named Valle de la Luna or lose yourself in the desert’s ridiculously clear night skies.

Money matters

Credit cards are widely accepted in Chile’s large cities and towns but may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as family restaurants and market stalls in rural areas. Ensure you carry enough cash in case credit cards aren't an option.

ATMs are widely available throughout Chile, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be a problem. However, some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so prepare for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.

Chile travel FAQs

Do i need a visa to travel to chile.

Many nationalities do not need a visa to enter Chile, including those from other South American countries, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. Visa-exempt travelers usually receive an entry stamp valid for 90 days on arrival.

Citizens from other countries will need to apply for a visa online or at your nearest embassy or consulate before traveling.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so you must check for the latest information.

You can check the entry requirements for your nationality on your government's foreign travel advisories, consular websites or on our visa and entry requirements page .

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

Is tipping customary in Chile?

Tipping isn’t essential in Chile, but it’s always appreciated. If you've had a great meal or service, it's customary to leave an extra 10% on top of your restaurant bill. The same goes for porters and other service workers. Feel free to leave spare change or tip extra if you're particularly impressed.

Can I drink the water in Chile?

Tap water is generally safe to drink in Chile, though some may get an upset stomach from the different mineral content. If you have a delicate stomach, you may want to opt for filtered water to avoid this. 

For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Instead, bring a reusable water bottle to fill with filtered water. Your leader or hotel can tell you where to find filtered water.

What is the internet access like in Chile?

Wi-fi access is widely available in cafes, bars and restaurants in cities and tourist areas. However, you may struggle to find wi-fi in rural and remote areas. Consider activating global roaming before you set off (check fees with your provider) or look into buying a local SIM card if you want to stay connected.

Can I use my cell phone in Chile?

Cell phone coverage is good in Chile’s cities but may not be available in rural and mountainous areas. Before leaving home, ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider or buy a local SIM card when you arrive.

What are the toilets like in Chile?

Toilets in Chile vary across the country. Flushable, Western-style toilets are common in cities, large hotels, malls and clubs, but squat toilets are the standard in rural areas and campsites.

Either way, carrying toilet paper and soap is a good idea, as these aren’t always provided in public toilets.

Is Chile safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Chile is generally a safe destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers. However, public displays of affection between same-sex couples aren’t recommended. As a predominantly Catholic and conservative nation, attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people are not always liberal, especially outside Santiago and other big cities, and many Chileans are reserved about being open about their sexuality. Transgender rights and public attitudes are also developing.

Santiago has a visible and thriving gay scene, particularly in Bellas Artes and Lastarria neighborhoods, and a large annual Pride parade. Beach resorts like Vina del Mar also have several gay clubs. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel. 

If you’re traveling with Intrepid, you’ll be roomed with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know when booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some trips for travelers who don’t wish to share a room. 

Will I experience altitude sickness in Chile?

Most people start to feel the effects of altitude at over 6562 feet regardless of age, gender or fitness level. Santiago is well below this elevation, but travelers heading to San Pedro de Atacama and the northern and central Andes might experience symptoms of high altitude. 

It’s important to take it easy, drink plenty of water and speak to your group leader immediately if you feel unwell. 

We recommend seeing your doctor if you have any health concerns before undertaking the trip, particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take any medication.

Does my trip to Chile support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Chile directly support our foundation partner, Torres Del Paine Legacy Fund . 

Torres Del Paine Legacy Fund  

The Huemul, also known as the South Andean Deer, are almost exclusively found in southern Patagonia and are currently endangered. Torres del Paine Legacy Fund is helping to conserve the endangered huemul by improving visitor management, advancing community education and tourism industry engagement, and mitigating the human-wildlife conflict in Torres del Paine National Park. Donations from our trips help Torres del Paine's huemul habitat conservation work.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.  

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
