Mainland Chile typically uses UTC-4 while Easter Island uses UTC-6. As of late April 2026, Utah and Easter Island are in the same time zone, meaning there is no time difference.

What currency is used?

  • Chile’s official currency is the Chilean peso (CLP). US dollars are not commonly accepted outside certain hotels or tour operators, so it’s best to use pesos.

Easter Island

What is Easter Island?

Easter Island is a name given by Dutch seafarer Jacob Roggeveen in 1722 to the Polynesian island of Rapa Nui. It is a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, known for it's huge moai statues. The island is often called to be the most remote place in the world.

Chile

When is the best time to visit Chile?

Chile can be enjoyed at any time of year. Because it’s in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in Europe and North America, with summer falling between December and February. Spring (October–November) and autumn (March–April) are often ideal thanks to milder weather and fewer crowds, while winter (June–August) brings colder temperatures.

Spanish is the official language spoken throughout Chile.

The Tapati Festival on Easter Island takes place the first two weeks of February and features traditional music, dance, and sporting competitions.

What do I need to know about altitude in Chile?

Most trips to Patagonia don’t involve altitude concerns. However, northern regions such as Lauca National Park and parts of the Atacama Desert reach elevations above 3,000 meters. At these heights, altitude sickness can occur, so it’s important to take it slow, stay well hydrated, and avoid alcohol and caffeine while adjusting.

Do I need a converter or adapter for the electricity?

Chile uses 220V electricity at 50Hz. If your devices run on 110V, you’ll need a voltage converter or adapter.

How safe is Chile?

Chile is generally considered safe, with relatively low levels of crime affecting tourists. However, it’s still important to take standard precautions, just as you would in any major destination. Checking official travel advisories before your trip is recommended. Check Travel Insurance here

Tap water is usually safe to drink in most areas of Chile. If you’re unsure, check with locals or hotel staff. Bottled water is also widely available.

Can I use US dollars or do I need local currency? What is the local currency, exchange rate, etc.?

Chile’s official currency is the Chilean peso (CLP). US dollars are not commonly accepted outside certain hotels or tour operators, so it’s best to use pesos. ATMs are widely available in cities, and you can check current exchange rates online before your trip.

Do I need a visa or passport?

You’ll need a passport that remains valid for at least six months beyond your departure date. Many travelers from countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and much of Europe don’t need a visa for short stays. Reciprocity fees that once applied to some visitors have largely been removed, but it’s wise to confirm current requirements before traveling. Check Visa requirements here: Click Here

Should I bring cash or Traveler's checks? Can I use credit cards?

Most visitors bring a small amount of cash and withdraw more from ATMs as needed. ATMs are easy to find in larger towns and cities. Traveler’s checks are accepted but can be inconvenient and may come with extra fees. Credit cards are accepted in bigger establishments, though smaller businesses may prefer cash.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
