Useful Tips for Tourism in Chile
March is an excellent time to explore Chile, not only because tourist crowds decrease, but also because the country transitions into autumn, meaning the weather cools down in many regions.
Take advantage of this period to visit museums, temples, hot springs, fairs, and festivals before their March closing dates.
