Santiago and the Central Region
Santiago is a study of contrasts; it is home to colonial
buildings and modern skyscrapers, within reach of Andes
ski resorts, sandy beaches and world class vineyards. Take a day trip to the
picturesque Valparaiso
or relax and watch the world go by on the Plaza de Armas.

Most travellers consider the warm summer months, December to February,
to be the best time to visit southern Chile. However, winds are also the
strongest during these months. October/ November and March/April
typically have slightly lower temperatures, but also less wind so this
can also be a good time to visit. During the winter months of
May-September as most trails are closed in southern Chile and waterways
are iced over. Travellers visiting northern Chile, such as the Atacama
Desert or Easter Island, can travel year round.

Climate:
The north can be visited year round however heavy rain can cause
problems between December and February. The months of June to September
should be avoided in the centre and South unless you plan to ski. Peak
summer season is January and February but the weather is often just as
good in November, December and March and benefits from being less busy
with lower rates,
