💰 How far does your money go?
A draft beer at a Santiago bar costs around €3.50. A completo, Chile's iconic street hot dog loaded with avocado and mayo, goes for about €4. A full day of eating well: market lunch, street food in the evening, and a couple of drinks, comes in at €20–25. That is roughly what a menú del día and two cañas costs in Barcelona. International tourists also benefit from Chile's 19% VAT exemption when paying by card: meals, accommodation, and tours all discounted automatically.
☀️ The weather
Santiago in February averages 25°C with barely any rain and around 10 hours of sunshine a day. March is warmer, with highs reaching 28°C and mild nights around 13°C. Both months fall in Chile's southern hemisphere summer: reliably dry, clear-sky days with the snow-capped Andes visible on the horizon.

🎯 What to do
Santiago blends Latin American energy with Andean drama.
Cerro San Cristóbal: Take the funicular up through green slopes for panoramic views of the city and the Andes. Go at sunset. Entry is under €5.
La Vega Central: Santiago's main market has been feeding the city for over a century. Arrive hungry. Lunch here costs under €5.
Barrio Bellavista: The city's arts and nightlife district. Street murals, craft cocktail bars, and Pablo Neruda's house, all within walking distance.
Cajón del Maipo: A river gorge cutting deep into the Andes, one hour from the city centre. Natural thermal pools, mountain villages, and some of the most dramatic scenery in South America.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Santiago sits at the centre of some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. Most travellers use it as a launching pad.
Valparaíso: 1h40 by bus. Chile's most charismatic port city, built across 42 hills and covered in UNESCO-protected street art.
Viña del Mar: 1h40 by bus. Pacific beaches, seafood, and a slower pace than the capital.
Cajón del Maipo: 1 hour by car. Andean gorges, thermal springs, and high-altitude reservoirs ringed by peaks.
Atacama Desert: 2 hours by domestic flight. The driest desert on Earth: salt flats, geysers at dawn, and some of the clearest skies on the planet.
Patagonia: 3 hours by domestic flight. Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno Glacier, and landscapes that look like the end of the world.
Level flies non-stop from €637. February and March are two of Chile's best months. Check availability before these dates go.
