    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: accepted

    Citizens of the EU, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and most Latin American countries enter Chile visa-free for up to 90 days for business and tourism, with no reciprocity fee.

    Weather

    April falls in Santiago's autumn: daytime highs typically reach 22–25 °C while nights cool to 6–10 °C, and rainfall is light at roughly 15–25 mm across the month. Mornings can be hazy under a temperature inversion over the Maipo valley, so layered clothing and a light jacket suit both the show floor and evening events. Bring sunscreen for midday outdoor queues and comfortable walking shoes for the large Espacio Riesco halls.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Chile's main mobile networks — Entel, Movistar, Claro and WOM — sell prepaid tourist SIMs with data; buy one at SCL airport arrivals or in central Santiago stores with your passport. Travel eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly or Nomad cover Chile and can be activated before departure, avoiding queues on arrival. Espacio Riesco and most Providencia/Las Condes hotels provide free Wi-Fi, but exhibitors running demos should carry a local data plan as EU or global roaming does not automatically apply in Chile.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping

    Restaurant bills usually add a suggested 10% 'propina' — check before signing; small coins are customary for bar and hotel staff.

    Greetings & meetings

    A handshake is standard on first meeting, while a single cheek kiss is common between acquaintances. Business runs on personal relationships, so allow time for introductions before negotiating.

    Dining & dress

    Lunch is the main meal (13:00–15:00) and dinner starts late, around 20:30. Smart-casual to business dress is expected on the show floor and at evening networking events.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: SCL

    SCL (Arturo Merino Benítez) is Chile's sole intercontinental gateway; direct services run from Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Madrid, Paris, Lima, Bogotá and São Paulo, with onward domestic connections across the mining regions. Book 8–12 weeks ahead for the 20–24 April 2027 show window, when business-class seats and morning arrivals fill first. Choose flights landing before 07:00 or after 10:00 to avoid the Vespucio Norte commuter peak on the transfer to Espacio Riesco.

    Visa

    Most international visitors — including citizens of the EU, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and most Latin American countries — enter Chile visa-free for up to 90 days for business and tourism, with no reciprocity fee. Travellers from non-waiver countries need a short-stay consular visa of around USD 100, taking 10–20 business days, applied for at a Chilean consulate before departure. Carry a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival plus proof of onward travel and your EXPOMIN registration, and complete Chile's SAG agricultural declaration on arrival.

    Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Stay up to 90 days; passport must be valid at least six months beyond arrival; immigration may request proof of onward travel and accommodation. Apply at a Chilean consulate before departure; a letter of invitation from the Chilean host company or from organiser FISA | GL events supports a business-purpose application.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Arturo Merino Benítez International (SCL). Allow road or rail time to Espacio Riesco; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Espacio Riesco: Recoleta / Santiago Norte, closest to Espacio Riesco: Ibis Santiago Norte, Holiday Inn Express Santiago Norte, Hotel Diego de Almagro Providencia; Vitacura / Providencia: Novotel Santiago Vitacura, Hilton Garden Inn Santiago, Courtyard by Marriott Santiago; Las Condes / Vitacura: Grand Hyatt Santiago, Mandarin Oriental Santiago, W Santiago.

    Ride-hail: Uber, Cabify, DiDi and inDrive all operate across Santiago, including the Huechuraba district around Espacio Riesco. Request from the designated pick-up zones at SCL Terminal 2 arrivals and from the main gate at the venue; fares from Providencia or Las Condes run CLP 8,000–15,000 and take 20–35 min outside peak hours. Ride-hail is typically 20–30% cheaper than airport taxis but surges during the 18:00–20:00 evening peak.

    Public transit: Santiago's Metro (Líneas 1–7) and Red bus network use a single rechargeable bip! card, costing CLP 730–900 per journey. The closest Metro stop to Espacio Riesco is Línea 2 Vespucio Norte, followed by a short taxi or Red bus connection along Av. El Salto into Huechuraba, making the door-to-door trip from central Santiago about 45–60 min. Buy and top up a bip! card at any Metro station; buses do not accept cash.

    Parking: Espacio Riesco offers on-site paid parking for visitors and exhibitors, typically CLP 4,000–6,000 per day, with car parks filling by 10:00 on peak show days. Use the signed visitor entrances off Av. El Salto and follow marshals during the morning build-up. If attending for a single day, a taxi, ride-hail or hotel shuttle is usually faster than driving through Vespucio Norte traffic.

    Planning

    Best day for qualified buyer meetings: Wednesday 21 April 2027

    Mid-week is when the full conference programme, technical panel sessions and complete exhibitor presence overlap, and halls are less crowded than the final Saturday. Suppliers are fully staffed and senior engineers are on stands, making Wednesday the strongest day for both sourcing and scheduled meetings.

    QUESTION 1 OF 6

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You need to compare suppliers, attend technical conference sessions and meet Latin American mining buyers face to face in one venue.

    Best for

    Mine operators, plant and maintenance engineers, procurement managers and equipment distributors sourcing drilling, haulage, processing and automation solutions for Andean copper and lithium operations.

    Min. budget

    $480.00

    Timeline

    6–10 weeks before opening day for flights, hotels and meeting scheduling

    Risks

    April is peak business-travel season in Santiago, so Providencia and Las Condes hotels sell out early

    Visa-waiver travellers need a passport valid six months beyond arrival and proof of onward travel

    exhibit

    Your pipeline depends on qualified Andean mining buyers and you can staff a stand with Spanish-speaking technical and sales people for the full five days.

    Best for

    Equipment manufacturers, mining-technology suppliers, engineering consultancies and service providers targeting Chile, Peru, Argentina and Bolivia, where EXPOMIN is the region's principal buying window.

    Min. budget

    $3,800.00

    Timeline

    6–9 months before opening day for stand design, freight to Chile, ATA Carnet clearance and staff travel

    Risks

    International freight and ATA Carnet customs clearance into Chile require lead time and broker support

    Premium hall space and hotel room blocks near Espacio Riesco are allocated early for a biennial show

    Large machinery exhibits must clear Servicio Nacional de Aduanas inspection before build-up

    skip

    Your target buyers do not operate in Chile, Peru or Argentina, or the 2029 edition fits your regional expansion planning better.

    Best for

    Suppliers with no Latin American mining exposure, companies whose products are already covered by local distributors, or teams unable to commit the travel budget and Spanish-language sales resource this edition requires.
