Chile Tours

Home to incredible mountains, deserts and glaciers, Chile is one of the most diverse countries in the world – and it’s ideal for your next adventure holiday. If you plan to see most of the highlights on your Chile trip, anything from 13 to 15 days should be ideal. If you’re concerned that you won’t be able to fill two weeks in Chile, you needn’t worry. Exploring the fjords, glaciers and mountains in the south alone can take 15 days.

And while we would recommend at least 13 days for your Chile trip, you can still squeeze plenty into a week, but you’d be best focusing on one area. Perhaps you want to trek through Patagonia, discover the rock formations in the Atacama Desert, or explore the mountains, glaciers and icebergs of Torres del Paine National Park. If, however, you’d rather enjoy an introductory trip to the Antarctic Peninsula then we recommend just 8 days.

It’s a resounding yes – Chile is a terrific place to visit. Our Chile tours ensure you see all the main sights and introduce you to the history, culture and wildlife of each destination. From the tranquil lakes, imposing peaks and giant glaciers of Patagonia to the desolate Atacama Desert, a land of undeniable beauty awaits you on your trip to Chile.

If you’re keen to embark on a polar adventure, choose one of our Chile tours that incorporates a trip to Antarctica.

The seasons in Chile are opposite to those of the UK, with the warmer months being between October and March. Temperatures can reach around 22°C and daylight hours are longer, making it ideal for Chile tours.

This depends on the Chile tour you decide on. While most are rated as ‘leisurely’ or ‘moderate’, some of our more extensive treks through Patagonia are marked as ‘challenging’. This means that fitness is imperative as the environment may be remote and challenging.

We encourage you to review our activity level guidelines before booking.

This will largely depend on the type of Chile tour you choose. But a warm jacket, as well as a waterproof, is recommended to keep you comfortable. Layers are also handy in case you get warm while walking and sturdy shoes are a must.

Meanwhile, our more extensive treks and polar expeditions will require additional equipment that will be listed on your trip notes. This will include waterproof trousers, good-quality walking boots, gloves and more.

Be sure to check your itinerary and trip notes for more information.

You do not need a visa to visit Chile if you are a UK citizen. You can find all the latest travel advice from the government online, which we recommend checking before your trip to Chile.

As with any trip, particularly where there are risks involved, it is highly recommended that you have comprehensive travel insurance. You should also speak with your GP to see whether they recommend you have any vaccinations.
