Best time to travel to Chile

The best time to visit Chile depends on where you’re headed, but overall, the warmer months range from November through February.

Down south in Patagonia, the warmest and most accessible months stretch from October to March, perfect for trekking and immersing yourself in the gorgeous landscapes.

Santiago, the central regions, and the Atacama Desert are considered year-round destinations, with warmer daytime weather throughout the year. From September until the end of spring, crowds are generally smaller. This is a great time to combine some city exploration in Santiago with an adventure up north.

If you plan to hit the ski slopes in the mountains around Santiago, the winter months from June to August are your best bet.
