Best time to be there

As the climate varies hugely from north to south, different places are best at different times, although spring (September to December) is universally good. Atacama can be visited year-round, central Chile enjoys a Mediterranean climate with good weather throughout. Patagonia is best for hiking in Spring or Summer.

Chilean holidays

Chile is a land of extremes and staggering beauty.  This longest country in the world is bordered on the east by the Andes and on the west by the Pacific Ocean and stretches from the Atacama Desert in the north to Cape Horn in the far south.

A holiday in Chile with Abercrombie & Kent will get you closer than any other to the people and places that define this wonderful country.

Many holidays in Chile begin with the most famous of its national parks - Torres del Paine in southern Patagonia (designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve). Vast granite towers drop down to a lavish valley full of lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and icebergs. Pause your Chilean travel here to spot more than 100 species of bird, armadillos, guanacos and, if you are lucky, the occasional puma.

Water and land merge seamlessly together in the majestically beautiful Chilean Lake District - an ideal setting for a honeymoon in Chile. Snow-capped volcanoes are reflected in the brilliant blue of the lakes, often fed by rivers that provide some of the best fishing in the southern hemisphere. In total contrast, turn your travel in Chile north to the Atacama Desert, an adventure playground of geysers, moon valleys and salt lakes where at night the clear skies are littered with thousands of stars.

Santiago is the capital as well as gateway to the ski areas and best beaches. Maipo Valley is just south of here and produces some of the new world's finest wines.

Finally, for even greater drama, Easter Island lies some 2,000 miles west off the coast of Chile. It is best known for its moai, more than 600 huge figures sculpted from volcanic-rock. Nobody knows exactly how, why or when they were put there. The island is one of the most isolated and mysterious places on earth and is a fitting adjunct to the spectacle of Chile.
