Travel guide Patagonie

When to go en Patagonie ?

The very high tourist season is January and February. Between Christmas and New Year's Eve, prices sometimes explode. The high tourist season is from early November to early April. In the Patagonian South, November is already a busy month. The low season (rates divided by two) is from April to October. In Patagonia, summer runs from the end of December to the end of March, winter from June to September. In winter, snow covers peaks and valleys, ideal for melancholic and ski lovers! However, you should know that many tourist infrastructures are not functioning and that transportation is much more limited. In fact, these months are not recommended to fully appreciate the beauty of the natural sites, unless, once again, you accept the climatic conditions and the difficulties of communication. On the other hand, the wind drops significantly, and some days can be absolutely superb. It can happen to trek in the Torres del Paine Park, in breathtaking landscapes. Spring is not a particularly recommended season, especially in the Deep South: indeed, it is the time of the melting of the snow, the weather is rather unstable, the wind wakes up, and many tourist structures do not function. On the other hand, the spectacle of nature waking up is overwhelming. Fall is a beautiful and moving season. The shimmering colors of the forests, the play of diaphanous lights on the glaciers and rocky peaks are surreal. In short, for the average traveler, summer is the ideal season.
