As nature recovers from the winter months, you’ll see vivid landscapes with blooms and green buds. Beware of closed trails due to snow early to mid-October.

Spring

In the hiker paradise, summer features open trails and enjoyable weather to take in the stunning views. January is the busiest and most expensive month.

Summer

The stunning contrast of snowy peaks with bright reds and yellows makes fall a photographer’s paradise. It is also less windy. Most hotels close at the end of April.

Fall

Winter provides unique and fascinating views over the frosted steppes and mountains of Patagonia, but most of the hikes are inaccessible, making it a dead season in both El Chalten and Torres Del Paine.

Mirador Canal de los Témpanos is a less-crowded scenic viewpoint with Perito Moreno views, located just a short drive from the main Perito Moreno observation deck.

We recommend a quick stop here to get a unique perspective from lake water level. If you have more time and feel adventurous – hop into a kayak and paddle towards the glacier, a truly unique experience. Check our local guided kayak recommendation in the links section.
