Chile is having a moment—and the world is taking notice.
Chile has been named Best International Destination at the inaugural Forbes Travel Awards 2026, beating out heavyweights like Japan and Portugal’s Alentejo region.
This isn’t just another tourism award either.
The Forbes Travel Awards are editorially driven, meaning winners aren’t based on paid submissions or public voting—but on expert evaluation. And what set Chile apart? A combination of extreme natural diversity and a growing commitment to sustainable tourism.
From the surreal landscapes of the Atacama Desert—the driest place on Earth—to the glaciers and peaks of Patagonia, Chile offers one of the most varied travel experiences anywhere in the world.
But it’s not just about the scenery.
Chile continues to build a reputation for safe, connected, and experience-driven travel, blending nature with modern infrastructure. Cities like Santiago offer vibrant food and culture scenes, while destinations like San Pedro de Atacamadeliver once-in-a-lifetime views under some of the clearest skies on Earth.
And the recognition doesn’t stop there.
At the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards 2026, Santiago ranked among the top global destinations for solo travel, praised for its safety and accessibility, while San Pedro de Atacama secured a spot among the best destinations in South America.
The message is clear.
Chile isn’t just competing anymore.
It’s leading.
