What you gain in November
- ↑November produces Santiago at its most photogenic and most liveable. Temperatures reach 26°C with very low humidity, almost zero rain, and the Andes still white-capped with winter snow. The Parque Bicentenario in Vitacura and the Parque Forestal along the Mapocho are in full green bloom. The weekend antique market at Balmaceda metro and the open-air Feria Artesanal in Barrio Italia are at their peak.
- ↑November is the height of the asparagus and stone fruit season in Chilean agriculture — the Mercado Central and the neighbourhood ferias have their best produce of the year. The wine regions to the south are preparing for the December harvest and cellar visits in November offer a behind-the-scenes look at pre-harvest operations.
- ↑The proximity of Santiago to the beach resorts of Viña del Mar and Valparaíso (90 minutes) comes into its own in November — the Pacific coast is warm enough for walking, the water is cold but the scenery excellent, and the bohemian Cerro Alegre neighbourhood of Valparaíso is best in the warm months.
What you sacrifice
- ↓November is a school holiday month in some Chilean years (with regional variations) and the domestic family travel season begins warming up. Hotel prices in the beach towns rise and the city can feel slightly busier with domestic visitors preparing for the summer season.
- ↓The heat of summer is approaching — by late November, 26°C days can be followed by 30°C days as the summer pattern establishes itself, and the haze begins to return gradually.
