Time change in Chile has always been a contentious topic, and it is fast approaching. Summer time in Continental Chile ends on Saturday, April 1, 2023 at 00:00, at which time clocks must be set back one hour (becoming 23:00), with the exception of the Magallanes Region and the Chilean Antarctic Territory, which will maintain their current time zone.
For the territories of Western Insular Chile, such as Rapa Nui, summer time will also end on Saturday, April 1, 2023, when they will return to the UTC-6 time zone (winter time), but the clocks must be set back to 9:00 p.m. hours.
