Travel Tips

The best time to visit is summer (December to March) for pleasant weather. Pack layers as temperatures can vary, especially near the mountains. Respect local customs and greet with a friendly “hola.” Carry some Chilean pesos for small purchases, though cards are widely accepted. Stay aware of weather changes when planning outdoor activities. Safety is good but keep usual travel vigilance.
