Why Choose Anglo Pacific for Your Move to Chile?

Relocating to Chile involves unique challenges, including its varied climates, customs regulations, and logistical considerations. Here’s how we help:

Packing for Chile’s Diverse Climates

Chile’s geography spans a range of climates:

  • North: The Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on earth.
  • Central Region: Santiago experiences warm, dry summers and cooler, wet winters.
  • South: Patagonia’s climate is cold and windy, with frequent rainfall.

We use specialised packing materials to safeguard furniture, personal effects, and electronics against these conditions. Climate-resistant solutions ensure everything arrives at your new home in perfect condition.

Flexible Shipping Options

We offer tailored shipping solutions for all types of moves:

  • Air Freight: Ideal for urgent shipments, with delivery times of 5 to 7 days.
  • Sea Freight: A cost-effective option for larger moves, with transit times of 6 to 8 weeks.

Choose from shared containers to save costs or exclusive 20ft and 40ft containers for larger shipments, including vehicles.

Navigating Chilean Customs

Chile’s customs process requires careful planning. Restrictions apply to items like electronics, vehicles, and furniture. Our team handles all documentation, customs clearance, and compliance checks to ensure a seamless delivery.

We’ll also advise on prohibited or restricted items, including rules about second-hand goods and duties on imported items.

Comprehensive Door-to-Door Service

From packing your belongings in the UK to unpacking them in Chile, we take care of every detail. Our door-to-door service includes:

  • Packing and unpacking.
  • Removal of packing materials.
  • Secure storage solutions if your new home isn’t ready.

Why Move to Chile?

Chile combines natural beauty, cultural diversity, and modern conveniences. Here’s what makes it a great destination:

  • Natural Wonders: Visit iconic locations like Torres del Paine National Park, the Marble Caves, and the Lake District.
  • Cultural Traditions: Experience Fiestas Patrias (National Holidays) and sample local favourites like empanadas and pastel de choclo.
  • Economic Opportunities: Chile is a leader in copper production, wine exports, and renewable energy.
  • Adventure: Ski the Andes, explore the fjords of Patagonia, or surf along the Pacific Coast.

 

Practical Tips for Life in Chile

  • Transportation: Public transport in cities like Santiago is reliable and affordable. The metro system is modern and efficient. For rural areas, driving is often necessary.
  • Weather: Central Chile offers a Mediterranean climate. Bring warm clothing if relocating to the south, as Patagonia’s winters are cold.
  • Language: Spanish is the official language, but Chilean Spanish includes unique slang, like cachai (you know?). Learning basic phrases will help you integrate.
  • Neighbourhoods: Santiago’s Las Condes and Providencia districts are popular among expats for their amenities and safety.
