Foreign tourists arriving to Santiago have up to 24 hours to travel to your destination in another region of the country (phase 3 or higher). When completing your travellers sworn statement before flying to Santiago it is important you enter a phase 3 comuna as your destination. Your airline’s boarding pass will be your valid document to travel outside of Santiago.
No. Foreign tourists may only enter Chile via Santiago's international airport. Currently, all land borders between Chile and Argentina are closed for tourists. In order to reach Punta Arenas from Santiago you must travel through Argentina, therefore, this road trip is currently not possible. An excellent alternative is to pickup a camper in Santiago, travel South via the Lake District to the Carretera Austral before dropping off in Puerto Varas or, returning to Santiago to drop off your camper ahead of your international flight home.

Many national parks are now open with additional national parks opening everyday. For official information please visit CONAF website.
