The Independent UK, the New York Times and the Guardian have voted Chile as the hot g-to destination of 2017, and it's easy to see why. Imagine a coastline 4600 km long where you can grab an ocean-swim before breakfast, and schuss down the finest powder in time for sundowners with the finest wines in the world. Hop across to the enigmatic Easter Island to commune with the still life of the Moai, or take in the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert. Clamber up to the Ojos del Salado, the highest lake on the planet, or stroll the quaint streets of Santiago, soaking in the culture that has spawned the greatest names in poetry, Nobel laureates Gabriela Mistral (1945) and Pablo Neruda (1971). Just a tour of its Andean vineyards, sandwiched between mountain peaks and Pacific waters will be worth the price of a ticket.
Peak Season Description:
Chile's summer months, perfect in every way for its beautiful cities, wine country and the wilds of Patagonia. Accommodation will be full with locals and foreigners both traveling at the same time, thronging to all of Chile's myriad attractions, so book early.
Shoulder Season Description:
Autumn and spring are the nicest times to visit Chile. Days are beginning to warm up all over; the Atacama Desert and Lake District come into their own. Wine country is gorgeous in March and April is perfect for Torres del Paine, with its profusion of wildlife.
Low Season Description:
Winter in Chile still sees activity, particularly the ski-resorts where it is peak season. The cities will experience cold, and sometimes rainy days. Visitors to Patagonia trickle off, as many hotels shut shop in these months. Chile still offers itself as a year-round destination, but please check with operators about certain specific activities.
