Getting to Kigali from Chile

As the crow flies, Kigali is about 10,878 km from Santiago. Santiago changes its clocks: five hours behind Kigali in January, six hours behind Kigali in July.

From Chile, fly Air France to Paris (CDG), then RwandAir non-stop to Kigali.

Among Chile's international airports: Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), Carriel Sur International Airport (CCP) and La Araucanía International Airport (ZCO).

Guests travelling from Puente Alto, Maipú and Antofagasta get the same welcome: a pickup at any hour and the villa ready.
