Planning Your Adventure Elopement in Chile

1. Why should we choose Chile for our elopement?

Chile offers some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, from the dramatic peaks of Patagonia to the otherworldly Atacama Desert, lush forests, and pristine coastlines. It’s a paradise for couples seeking adventure and unique, remote locations.

2. What is an adventure elopement?

An adventure elopement combines the intimacy of a traditional elopement with an adventurous twist, like hiking, exploring remote landscapes, or incorporating outdoor activities. It’s about creating a meaningful experience in nature that reflects your love story.

3. What locations do you recommend for an adventure elopement in Chile?

Some of the most popular spots include:

• Torres del Paine National Park (Patagonia): Iconic granite peaks, glacial lakes, and untouched wilderness.

• Atacama Desert: Dramatic salt flats, geysers, and star-filled skies.

• Easter Island: Stone Moai statues, and a Polynesian heritage.

• Carretera Austral: Emerald lakes, lush forests, and charming, rustic vibes.

• Valparaiso: Vibrant streets and ocean views for an urban twist.

4. When is the best time to elope in Chile?

Chile’s seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere:

• Spring (September–November) and Fall (March–May) offer mild weather and fewer tourists.

• Summer (December–February) is great for Patagonia and outdoor activities.

• Winter (June–August) is perfect for the Atacama Desert and Easter Island or cozy, snowy backdrops in the south.

5. How do we handle travel logistics?

• Flights: Most couples fly into Santiago (SCL) and then take domestic flights to their chosen region.

• Transportation: Renting a car is one way, but I advice to trust locals and their transportation services to explore remote areas.

• Accommodations: I can recommend charming lodges, eco-friendly cabins, or luxury stays tailored to your preferences.

6. Do we need a permit to elope in national parks or remote areas?

Yes, some locations may require permits for ceremonies or photography. I’ll guide you through the process and help secure the necessary permissions.

7. How do we prepare for the adventure aspect (like hiking)?

• I provide detailed packing lists based on your location and activities.

• Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes are essential.

• Don’t worry—your elopement attire can be packed and changed into at the perfect spot!

8. What’s included in your photography services?

• Pre-elopement planning support (timeline creation, location scouting, and activity recommendations).

• Full-day or multi-day coverage to capture every moment.

• Professional editing of high-resolution images.

• Optional add-ons like printed albums.

9. Can family or friends join us?

Absolutely! While adventure elopements are often intimate, I can help you find locations accessible to small groups if you’d like loved ones to be part of your special day.

10. What if the weather changes?

Chile’s weather can be unpredictable, especially in Patagonia. I always have a backup plan for alternate locations or times, ensuring your day is magical no matter what.

11. How far in advance should we book?

To ensure availability and time for detailed planning, it’s best to book at least 6-12 months in advance. However, I’m happy to accommodate shorter timelines if possible.

12. What’s the legal process for getting married in Chile?

Many couples choose to handle the legal paperwork in their home country and focus on a symbolic ceremony in Chile.

13. What else can we do during our trip?

In addition to your elopement, you can enjoy:

• Glacier trekking, kayaking, or horseback riding in Patagonia.

• Stargazing in the Atacama Desert.

• Wine tours in the Casablanca Valley.

• Exploring colorful towns like Valparaíso.

14. What’s the cost of an adventure elopement in Chile?

Costs vary depending on location, travel, and activities.
Easter Island it’s the most expensive. At $10k, due to its location is considered a luxury experience.
Valparaiso is the cheapest and also most accesible at $3k.
