Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Our travel experts know all there is to know about Chile Christmas holidays, so let us create the perfect tailor-made trip for you. To give you a glimpse of what could be in store, here are a few of our favourite Chilean Christmas pastimes:
In Chile, Christmas dinner is eaten on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. If you love your traditional fare, you’ll be pleased to hear that the Chilean Christmas meal isn’t dissimilar from what you might be accustomed to: roasted turkey or chicken is served for the main course, with Easter bread, similar to panettone, for dessert. Another option is to ditch tradition entirely on your Chile Christmas holiday and make the most of Santiago’s vibrant street food culture: try sopaipilla, a disc of orange-hued dough served with spicy tomato-based sauce, or the classic empanada.
Rapa Nui is more commonly known in the UK as Easter Island. It’s famous for its archaeology, with sites dating back to the 13th century. What most people don’t know is that Rapa Nui is also home to a beautiful, secluded pink sand beach: Ohave. There’s very little signage which means it remains relatively untouched. Ovahe was home to ancient natives, and visitors today can still see caves on the cliff wall and remains of an ancient ceremonial crematorium.
Chile shares the famous region of Patagonia with neighbouring country Argentina. Marvel at jagged glaciers, snow-topped peaks, glittering turquoise lakes and lively beech forests in one of the most dramatically beautiful landscapes in the world. Whether you’re up for an epic trek or a quick stopover to enjoy the scenery, we can create the perfect Patagonia experience on your Chile Christmas holiday.
