Patagonia Travel Guide

When to go? Seasons, climate, festivities

  • October to February

    The summer time from October to February is the best time to visit Patagonia. November to January are the "hottest" months but the shoulder months of October and February tend to have less windy conditions.
  • April to November

    This is the rainy season in Patagonia, trekking is less favourable and the refuges are closed during this time for safety reasons.
