Frequently asked questions
Will I visit Santiago on your Chile tours?
The majority, although not all, of our Chile tours start or pass through Santiago. So if you want to explore this fascinating city in the mountains, then make sure to check our tour itineraries carefully!
Will I explore Chilean Patagonia on your tours?
The majority of our Chile tours take in the dramatic scenery of Patagonia, a region covering the southern tips of Chile and Argentina. It's the most popular reason for Chile travel, after all! Our tours take in the cities of Punta Arenas (Chile) and Ushuaia in Argentine Patagonia, as well as Torres del Paine National Park and Los Glaciares National Park, home to the iconic Perito Moreno glacier.
When is the best time to visit Chile?
Chile's unusually long, narrow shape means that the country experiences a varied climate. Patagonia is best visited in the warmer, more accessible summer months, from October to March. Santiago and the Atacama can be visited year-round, but peak season is January–February. There is more information in our guide on when to visit Chile.
Will I have a tour guide on my Chile package?

Is Chile a safe destination for travellers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2022 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Chile scores a B+ rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 14th out of 203 countries. Same-sex marriage is legal, and there are broad constitutional and worker protections in place for people of all sexual orientations. Hate crimes against members of the LGBTQ+ community are criminalized, and 51–75% of consulted citizens consider Chile a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. There are no legal punishments for same-sex relations, and most trips for LGBTQ+ travellers to Chile are trouble-free. The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travellers to the country.
Can I drink the tap water in Chile?
The tap water in Chile's larger cities is generally considered safe to drink. However, it has a high mineral content that can cause stomach upsets if you are not used to it. For this reason, we recommend sticking to filtered or bottled water to be on the safe side. In more rural areas, the tap water is not safe to drink.
As a solo traveller will I have to pay more for my Chile package?
On our Chile tours, we are able to match up solo travellers with another traveller of the same sex, so you don't need to pay a single supplement. If there is not a solo traveller of the same sex for you to share with, you will be given a single room to yourself at no extra cost. Please contact us if you would like to take up the room share option. If you are a solo traveller who would prefer to guarantee the privacy of your own room, then you can choose to pay the single supplement, the price of which is listed on each tour page.
What is the current travel advice for Chile?
As a UK-based company, we follow the latest up-to-date advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCDO). You can see the latest travel advice and local laws for your Chile trip here.
