Planning

Climate

Summer runs from November to February and is particularly hot and humid toward the end of the season. Autumn and spring are pleasantly mild and sunny. Winter, from June to August, is the low season and can be fairly cold (41-54°F/5-12°C), with bright, clear skies and occasional rain. Summer is high season, when most residents of Santiago de Chile, known as “santiaguinos,” leave the city. Winter is low season.

Voltage

220V AC, 50 Hz twin round pins are standard.

Time

GMT -4 hours in winter (GMT -3 hours in summer)

Money

The unit of currency in Chile is the peso ($). Upscale hotels, restaurants and shops accept major credit cards and sometimes accept US dollars. Note that “$” always represents the peso (the US dollar is “US$”). All major currencies can be exchanged easily in the main tourist centers. ATMs are the most convenient place to get money. Use a debit card for the best exchange rate.
