We will forever remember our first trip to Chile with our daughter Hannah and her then boyfriend, William (now husband). We had a great time together. We have plans to return, hopefully very soon.

Best Time to Visit Chile:
Santiago can be visited all year long, it really depends on what activities interest you the most. The summer period of December-February, is the warmest and when the beaches are most visited. Our recommendation for the weather of Chile is the spring and fall shoulder seasons of September-November and March-May for a great visit with mild temperatures.
