The lay of the land
With 3 neighbours sharing a border, Chile lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

TRIP FILE DATA
Chile is 4,300 kilometres long and 180 wide at its widest: the driest desert on earth at one end, glaciers at the other, and a single road trying to hold it together. Nowhere else can you be that wrong about distances.

Travel notes for Chile
CL / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.
Timing your trip
Christmas here is summer. Chile is in the southern hemisphere, so December and January are high season and July is winter: if you’re coming from Europe, your mental calendar is no help.
Paying your way
When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.
Documents & cover
Airlines check for an onward or return ticket at the desk, not the border, and they’ll refuse boarding without one where the rules ask for it. Have the exit booked, or at least printed, before you get to check-in.
Getting understood
Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.
