Traveller notes on Valle Nevado in February
Notes from nearby Valparaíso (133 km away)
Valle Nevado doesn't have its own notes for February yet — these are about Valparaíso, close enough to share the season.
February is peak Chilean holiday season and the coast is crowded for it — mid-February is the high point of the high season, and the forum's advice is to book lodging and flights as early as you can. The weather note that matters is the contrast: while Santiago is blazing hot and half-emptied out in February, Valparaíso stays coastal and moderate, averaging only about 19°C by day and 15 overnight, with no rain at all across the month. The sea is cooler still, near 17°C. Bring a layer for the evening — this is not a hot beach summer, it is a mild one.
