Chile Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

Q: How many days in Chile is enough?

Because Chile is such a culturally, climatically and geographically diverse nation, 12-14 days is ideal. You’ll find yourself falling in love from the icy mountaintops of Patagonia, to the modern skyscrapers of Santiago, up to the dry desert towns of the Atacama. Notable places include; Puerto Varas Santiago San Pedro De Atacama Punta Arenas You can find more Chile based tours on our Private Tours page.

Q: What is the best way to tour Chile?

Given Chile’s overwhelming size and varying terrain, touring looks different depending on where you are. In Santiago, walking and riding the metro and the bus is the best way. If you’re in the Atacama or more remote regions, a private car or long distance bus will get you where you need to be. Trekking and hiking is popular in the Patagonia region, but supervision is required at certain points. If you’re trying to plan a roadmap for touring Chile, talk to a local Chilean guide about your transport options.

Q: What is the best time of year to visit Chile?

This depends on where you’re going and which activities you’d like to take part in. For Puerto Varas and the greater Patagonia area, November to March is best while Santiago is best enjoyed from September to March .

Q: Is it safe to travel to Chile right now?

Yes, Chile is the second safest country in Latin America and the wealthiest nation in South America, and despite political unrest in 2018-2019 within Santiago and the Araucania region, the US Travel Advisory gives Chile the same safety precautions and advisories as Germany or France.

Q: What is the most famous tourist attraction in Chile?

Though the Atacama, the Andes Mountains and Easter Island are known the world over, Patagonia remains the most famous tourist attraction. With 140,458 visitors viewing this stunningly wild landscape through the Torres Del Paine National Park in 2022, it’s a testament to the otherworldly landscapes this nation is fortunate to have.

Q: What is the most beautiful part of Chile?

That’s a tough one! Chile is home to mind bending marvels such as Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Elqui Valley, Torres Del Paine National Park, Atacama’s Laguna Verde & Chiloe, so choosing one is impossible. With that said, most consider Patagonia to be the most breathtaking.

Raul A.

I studied tourism, and I have been a tour guide for several districts of Santiago and several museums in the past. I am passionate about history and wines. I am also a professional bartender. I have lived in New Zealand and France and recently conquered my 48th visited country (and I'm going for more). I worked for several years as a business executive for several multinationals, so I can be helpful in understanding the country and the economics. I love what I do, and I would love to show you my country the way I would like to visit it.

And today I am dedicated to offering daily excursions around Puerto Varas, but also programs from Pucon to Chaiten. For other parts of Chile I could also join you when planned in advance. I work aswell with colleagues and other micro-entrepreneurs to be able to offer all kinds of experiences. If we work together, we will gradually put together a program just for you.

Pablo D.

Hi everyone ! This is Pablo , I’m a passionate traveler, storyteller, and local guide originally from Chile. With a professional background in environmental sciences and over 15 years of life on the road, I’ve lived in places like Australia and explored cultures across the globe, from the U.S. to Brazil. But wherever I go, I carry a deep love for my roots, my culture, and the stories that make each corner of Chile so uniquely vibrant. Today, I dedicate myself to what I love most: connecting with people and sharing unforgettable experiences through personalized, authentic tours. For me, guiding isn’t just about showing places, it’s about making you feel at home, creating trust, and truly understanding what travelers need to feel safe, inspired, and excited along the way. That’s where I stand apart: empathy is my compass. I’m deeply passionate about Chilean wine, traditional food, and local crafts and I bring that love into every experience I create. The places I’ll show you aren’t just beautiful , they come alive through a local lens, full of flavor, history, and genuine connection.

Catalina here! Local TourGuide of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar :) I came to Valparaíso more than 6 years ago and I fell in love with this place. I just love the intricate stairs, the hidden corners and colorful alleys.. its endless magic, its art community, its legacy and its resilience; the culture, the people, the port. Viña del Mar, our twin City: close sisters with very different souls. Viña is a beautiful Garden City, with nice beaches and restaurants, a lovely boardcoast, parks and nature, shops and old treasures around. Now I walk all over both cities sharing them with the world, and hoping you have a nice time and get to connect with this uniques cities in Latinoamerica. The tours I offer are flexible in many ways and they can be tailored to your needs or interests. So If you have questions or doubts just ask and share your ideas or worries. A little about myself! I studied Ecotourism. I love to walk, love nature, animals, and nice adventures. I also love hot chocolate, interesting conversations and creating things with my hands. I hope we can meet!

“Food tour with Pablo ”

We had a great time with Pablo, he was great with his communication prior to the tour fitting us in at pretty short notice. The tour itself was informative and great fun, Pablo is very engaging with a great sense of humour. He has a fantastic rapport with the vendors, both in the market and outside of it. The market is something else which you wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate if you did it yourself. Highly recommend for a great insight into Chilean food culture (plus plenty of laughs!)
