Top points of interest in Chile

This country offers an enormous variety of attractions. Discover the top points of interest to include on your Chile tours below.

Atacama Desert

Known as the driest non-polar region on earth, the Atacama desert is captivating and otherworldly.

The arid climate was vital for preserving the famed Chinchorro mummies. View them on your Chile trip to the Archeological Museum in Arica. At least 7,000 years old, they predate Egyptian examples by two millennia.

Easter Island

Remote Rapa Nui has 887 massive monolithic statues littering the almost treeless island. They’re a testament to a singular culture that mysteriously collapsed.

Raraku National Park is a quarry where you can see the statues in various states of production. Watching the sunrise from Tongariki is a must-do for visitors. 

Santiago de Chile

Most Chile tours begin in the capital, with the snow-capped Andes on one side and the Chile Coast Range on the other. It mixes modernity and historical architecture with various styles.

The Plaza de Armas is the colonial heart of the city. Visit the National History Museum, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the former home of Nobel laureate poet Pablo Neruda.

Watch the changing of the guard at La Moneda Palace, or soar to the top of the tallest building in South America, the Sky Costanera, for epic views.

Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos

Many Chile tours visit this nature reserve consisting of shimmering salt flats, high-altitude lagoons, and interesting examples of wind erosion.

The reserve gets its name from the flamingos that call the park home. Three species join an abundant birdlife that includes hawks, condors, and Andean seagulls.

Divided into seven distinct regions of varying altitudes and climatic conditions, it protects rich flora and fauna despite being a desert.

Valparaíso

Once known as the “Jewel of South America,” this bohemian port city takes up the southern end of a broad bay. Learn about its colorful history on your Chile trip.

Charismatic Valpo has several steep hills with fabulous street art and functional funiculars. Climb the winding roads up the “Cerros” for stunning views over the city and ocean. Stop in at one of the boutique bars for a pisco sour and live music.

Visit the cathedral, parks, theaters, cafes, and the colonial La Matriz church. There are also beaches where adventurous travelers can surf.

Chile: Off the beaten path

In southern Patagonia, the Torres del Paine National Park is astounding. Hike, camp, or climb among glaciers, mountains, icy lakes, flora, and fauna. El Chalten is also extraordinary if you’re looking for Chile adventure tours.

High season is the November to February summer window, when tourists throng the beaches. For epic skiing, choose the Andean winter wonderland from June to August.

Chile is one of the less affordable countries in South America, with costs significantly higher than in Brazil, for example. The most significant chunk of cost goes to flights and accommodation, but you can craft a budget-friendly trip with some research.

The best Chile tours require at least two weeks for a comprehensive understanding, but you can also see the main sights within a few days.

Spanish is the official language of Chile. Inhabitants of larger cities often have higher rates of English comprehension. Apart from hospitality or tourism industry personnel, there’s little opportunity for the local population to practice English.
