Be sure to get appropriate health insurance that fits your travel and personal needs, and have funds available to cover any medical emergency. There are good health facilities in Santiago and other major cities, but a place like Easter Island have only one hospital with limited facilities. To call for an ambulance, dial 131. You can review some recommended vaccines for travel to Chile here.
Even though the political situation is stable and safe, pickpocketing and mugging can still take place in popular tourist sites. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid carrying large amounts of money in crowded places like downtown Santiago. Always use authorized taxi services.

The weather in Chile varies greatly across a large geographic scale: the desertic north is a stark contrast to the rainforest in the deep south or the glaciers near Antarctica. Therefore, the climate recommendation depends on where you choose to travel. For instance, our destinations include the Atacama Desert, which is sunny and dry but cold at night, making it perfect to visit all year long. However, Patagonia is a different story, with its own microclimates, causing the weather to change constantly. Heavy rainfall, strong cold winds, and clear skies can be experienced all on the same day. We recommend taking this trip around summertime.
Chile’s official language is Spanish.
The electricity supply is stable around the country. The current operates on 220V, 50Hz, and electrical sockets have two or three holes and accept round (European) plugs.
