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.
Entry for citizens of Chile
Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.
Money and payment
Chile's currency is the Chilean peso (CLP). Stays are quoted in US dollars, and you can pay in USD, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, or in crypto such as USDT or Bitcoin.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
