Santiago Weather in November

Spring days outdoors

November is warm, dry spring weather in Santiago. Afternoons can feel hot in the sun, while evenings cool off. Rain is rare, so you can explore the city on foot or spend time in Parque Forestal and around Lastarria.

The long daylight suits a visit to Cerro San Cristóbal, with views across the city and the Andes. Save steep walks for cooler parts of the day, and avoid exposed hikes when the afternoon heat builds. The smog can also blur mountain views, so keep expectations flexible.

A holiday in November

Chile marks All Saints' Day on November 1. It's a public holiday, and families visit cemeteries such as Cementerio General in Recoleta. Some shops and services may close, so the city can feel quieter in places.

For hikers, November is a good time to explore trails near Santiago, but exposed routes can feel tough in the afternoon sun. Choose a shorter outing if you're not used to the dry heat.

Crowds and local tips

November sits between the quieter winter months and the busy summer holiday season. You'll usually find fewer holiday crowds than in December and January, though demand and prices tend to rise as summer approaches. It's still a popular month for sightseeing, with pleasant spring weather.

At Cerro San Cristóbal, take the funicular up and walk down through the park if you want to avoid climbing in the heat. You can stop in Bellavista afterwards for a mote con huesillo, a chilled drink with wheat and dried peaches.
