Meditation & Yoga Retreats in Chile

Chile's retreat scene is concentrated in Patagonia, the Atacama Desert, and the central wine country. Patagonia offers wilderness yoga and silent retreats in dramatic mountain-and-fjord settings (best November–March). The Atacama hosts desert silent and stargazing retreats. The Elqui Valley has growing yoga and astrology-influenced retreats. Spanish is the working language; English is widely spoken at international-facing centers. Most Western passports get visa-free entry. Cost: $700–$2,500 for a week, varying by exchange rate.
