Practical Information
What is the ideal lenght of stay for this journey?
The ideal lenght of stay in Patagonia is 7-10 days. This allows enough time to experience the region’s highlights, whether you prefer a scenic self-drive itinerary or a more immersive hiking adventure across Chile and Argentina.
Travelers who enjoy slower-paced exploration or extended trekking may consider 10-14 days.
When is the best time to travel?
The best time to visit Patagonia is during the austral summer (December to February), when temperatures are warmest and daylight hours are longest – ideal for hiking and outdoor activities.
In general, November through March offers the best balance of accessible trails, moderate temperatures (40°F – 70°F), and active wildlife.
- Summer (December-February): Peak season. Warmest temperatures, but also strong winds and more visitors. Excellent for hiking in Torres del Paine and glacier viewing.
- Shoulder season (October-November, and March-April): Fewer toursits and beutiful scenery. Spring brings wildflowers, while fall offers stunning colors.
- Winter (June-August): Very cold, and some accommodations and tours close. However, it is ideal for skiing and for travelers seeking solitude.
