Knowing the weather during your stay is very important so you can prepare and enjoy Patagonia.
The weather in Patagonia and in Torres del Paine National Park is known for being unpredictable and can experience significant changes in a short time. Additionally, due to the park’s diverse geography, there are microclimates that can create different weather conditions in specific areas. It is important to be prepared for a variety of weather conditions when visiting the park and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and pleasant experience.
If adverse weather conditions pose a risk to visitors, CONAF is the only entity authorized to close trails or circuits.

When to visit the park
- Depends on personal preferences, as each season has its charm. However, the best time to visit is between September and April, which coincides with spring and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
- During high season (November to March), temperatures are more pleasant, but there are also more visitors (if you plan to visit during this time, it is recommended to book at least 6 months in advance). In low season (April and October), it is much colder, but the winds are lighter, the landscape colors are different, and there are fewer people.
The months of March and April (autumn in the Southern Hemisphere) fill the park with beautiful reddish and orange hues that photographers love.
