Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile is a land of extremes. The best places to visit in Chile range from the Atacama Desert, where the landscape looks more like Mars than Earth, to the glacier-carved wilderness of Patagonia. In between, you’ll find world-class wine regions, snow-capped volcanoes, and the buzzing capital, Santiago. Hike through ancient forests, soak in thermal springs, or catch a sunset over the Pacific — Chile’s landscapes are as diverse as they come.

Questions about the best places to see in Chile

What is the best place to visit in Chile?

One of the most popular places to visit in Chile is Torres del Paine National Park. Its granite peaks, icy lakes, and rugged trails offer some of the best hiking in South America. But Chile’s geography stretches across deserts, fjords, and volcanoes – so there’s no single “best” destination.

In the north, the Atacama Desert has salt flats and lunar landscapes. In the south, Patagonia feels truly wild. Santiago offers city life with easy access to wine country, and Easter Island is a remote and fascinating option for those with extra time.
