    Chile, an international destination chosen by tourists from all over the world.

HOW TO ARRIVE IN CHILE

Chile - Patagonia

International tourists must submit their travel documents, i.e.valid identity card, passport and, depending on your country of origin, the duly stamped visa.

Citizens from other southamerican countries, European Union, U.S, Canada and Australia don't need a tourist visa. Nevertheless, some nationals must pay a Reciprocity Tax before going through the International Police security checkpoint.

Criminal/police records can cause international visitors to be refused entry in Chile (as in many other countries). Chile has the legitimate right to expel any immigrant due to police or criminal backgrounds.

Remember that you must declare all products of plant and animal origin you are entering into Chile by filling in the Customs/SAG Affidavit Form that will be submitted to SAG. In this way you are helping to protect the plants and animals in Chile's fertile ecosystem.

Upon entering Chile (at every airport and/or border crossing point) your police backgrounds will be checked at the International Police security checkpoints.

HOW TO GET TO CHILE

Chile - Patagonia

Chile stretches over 4,300 km (2,670 mi) north to south and you can enter the country using diverse modes of transportation including air travel, land and cruise arrivals.

The main access by air is through the airport Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez de Santiago (SCL) but there are 6 more international airports located in the cities of: Arica (ARI), Iquique (IQQ), Antofagasta (ANF), Isla de Pascua (IPC), Puerto Montt (PMC) and Punta Arenas (PUQ).

If you arrive by land you can enter the country through the northern border crossing point located in Arica. Use the border crossing points located in Arica, Iquique and Antofagasta if you come through Bolivia. Along the border line with Argentina there are more than 50 crossing points, being those located in La Serena, Osorno and Santiago the busiest and most popular ones.

To get to the Chilean Patagonia and in particular to the commune of Puerto Natales from Argentina the crossing points are: Dorotea and Casas Viajas crossing points. To get to Torres del Payne commune (in Chile) you can use Río Don Guillermo crossing point. To reach the commune of Punta Arenas the only crossing point is the Integración Austral. Finally, if you enter Chile through the commune of Porvenir there are two crossing points called San Sebastian and Bellavista.
