The best things to do in Chile stretch from the Andes to the Pacific across 4,300 kilometers. In Torres del Paine National Park, hike to the granite towers that rise roughly 2,800 meters. At El Tatio Geysers, watch 80 steam vents erupt before dawn at 4,320 meters, then explore Valle de la Luna's crumbling dunes.

Platos dulces tradicionales

Alfajor

Alfajor

The Chilean alfajor is one of the oldest pastry traditions in the country, with records going back to the 1800s. It is a sandwich of two cookies filled with manjar (dulce de leche) and often dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with chocolate.

Calzones Rotos

Calzones Rotos

The name literally translates to "broken underpants," a playful nickname for these diamond-shaped fried pastries. They are generously dusted with powdered sugar and a splash of lemon zest and are a favorite during rainy weather and winter months.

Leche Asada

Leche Asada

Unlike its cousin flan, leche asada gets its signature character from baking the custard in the oven, which creates a caramelized top layer and a golden crust. It is a beloved homemade dessert served with miel de palma (palm honey) or a drizzle of caramel.

Platos salados tradicionales

Empanada de Pino

Empanada de Pino

The classic Chilean empanada is stuffed with "pino," a mix of ground beef, onions, hard-boiled egg, an olive, and a raisin. It is the centerpiece of Chile's Independence Day celebrations in September, when millions are baked across the country.

Pastel de Choclo

Pastel de Choclo

This hearty casserole layers a sweet corn puree over a filling of beef, chicken, olives, and hard-boiled eggs. Many cooks sprinkle sugar on top before baking, because the caramelized spots from the hot oven are considered the best part.

Cazuela

Cazuela

Cazuela is a rustic soup-stew made with beef, chicken, or lamb simmered with pumpkin, corn, potatoes, and rice in one pot. The name comes from the clay pot it is traditionally cooked in, and everyone eats it with a spoon and their hands.

Bebidas tradicionales

Mote con Huesillo

Mote con Huesillo

This iconic summer drink combines rehydrated dried peaches (huesillos) with cooked wheat berries (mote) in a sweet syrup. Vendors cart it around in glass jars on warm days, and Chileans argue endlessly over getting the perfect ratio of peach juice to wheat.

Terremoto

Terremoto

Named after the earthquake, this potent cocktail mixes pipeño, a young sweet white wine, with pineapple ice cream and a splash of fernet or pisco. It is famously served at the traditional La Piojera bar in Santiago, often at 10 AM on weekends.

Cola de Mono

Cola de Mono

Cola de mono ("monkey's tail") is the essential Chilean Christmas beverage made with milk, coffee, sugar, cloves, and aguardiente or pisco. It is prepared in large batches ahead of the holidays, and every family swears their recipe is the best.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Chile

Is Chile safe?
Chile is generally one of South America's safest countries. Violent crime is rare, but petty theft, pickpocketing, and scams occur in Santiago and busy tourist areas. The U.S. State Department rates Chile as Level 2, exercise increased caution. Stay alert, avoid displaying valuables, and use official taxis or ride-hailing apps.
How many days in Chile?
Plan at least 10 to 14 days for a first visit. Santiago, Valparaiso, and the Atacama Desert require roughly 7 days. Reaching Patagonia and Easter Island takes significant travel time, so budget 3 to 4 days for each. A two-week itinerary covers the country's main highlights without feeling rushed.
Best time to visit Chile?
Chile stretches over 4,300 kilometers, so seasons vary by region. Visit Patagonia from November to March, during southern summer, when trails are open. The Atacama Desert works year-round with clear skies. Santiago and the Central Valley shine in spring, September to November. Check regional forecasts before booking.
Is Chile expensive?
Chile is more expensive than other South American countries but cheaper than the United States or Western Europe. A budget traveler might spend 60 to 80 US dollars daily on hostels and street food. Midrange travelers should expect 150 to 250 dollars. Dining, wine, and intercity flights cost more than expected.
How to get around Chile?
Fly between distant regions because Chile is extremely long. LATAM and Sky Airline run frequent domestic routes linking Santiago, Calama, Puerto Montt, and Punta Arenas. Long-distance buses are comfortable and cheap, around 10 to 20 US dollars for several hours. Renting a car works well in Patagonia and the Atacama. Ubers operate in major cities.
