Chile is known for its incredible geographical diversity, ranging from the arid Atacama Desert to vast forests and beautiful fjords. It is also home to the mysterious Easter Islands with their iconic stone statues. The local cuisine offers delicious dishes such as empanadas and ceviche.
Roads in Chile range from modern highways to winding mountain roads. While highways are usually well maintained, some secondary roads can be narrower and challenging. In mountainous areas, vehicles with larger engines are useful. Be careful on narrow roads and be mindful of road conditions, especially in remote areas.
For Chile's mountainous landscape, a car with a larger engine is often recommended. An SUV is ideal for touring and offers extra stability on uneven terrain. If you are travelling to sunny destinations, a convertible can be a nice option for enjoying the weather. Consider your travel plans when choosing the right car type.
The best time to visit Chile is usually during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when the weather is mild and tourist crowds subside. These periods offer ideal conditions for exploring the country.
Chile is known for its delicious dishes, such as pastel de choclo. Try the delicious casserole with corn, halal and olives. Also taste local wines, especially the famous Chilean reds. If you enjoy alcoholic drinks, remember not to continue your car trip.
