High Season

Chile has a perfect climate between November and February, with large numbers of visitors on the beaches and coasts since December, on the other hand, Patagonia has a huge number of visitors and clearly its price increase from December to February.

Shoulder Season

The two periods of the middle season (from September to November and from March to May) have the best climate to visit some cities, such as Santiago. September and November are good months for the District of Lagos, and April brings jungles with lush foliage in the south. The harvest festivals last in March .r r

Low Season

The winter arrives in Chile between June and August with a cool and cold climate. In these months the ski resorts are on their high season as well as the northern areas of Chile. The roads are empty and some mountain passes can be blocked by snow.

Your trip to Chile

Your travel to Chile has about 373% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
