I’ve been to impressive national parks – quite a few – and I am the first to admit that I had high expectations of Torres del Paine National Park. I’d seen countless photos, spoken to colleagues and clients who’d been there and raved about it, and had done my research....

If you are considering venturing into the remote wilderness of Patagonia but you are unsure of when to go, this quick guide will give you an insight into what each season offers. However, please be aware that the weather fluctuates greatly from day to day so you may experience snow, rain, sleet, sun any day during any season and sometimes all in one day.
Summer is the peak season in Patagonia, offering the warmest weather (average high 22ᴼC / low 5ᴼC) and long days (17 hours of daylight). It is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the wilderness and spectacular views. However, as expected during ‘peak’ season, you will be sharing the parks with many other visitors and be subject to peak season prices. Another element worth noting is that the wind is particularly strong during the summer months and can reach up to 120 kilometres per hour.
The temperature drops (average high 17ᴼC / low 3ᴼC) but so do the number of visitors. The autumn leaves and their beautiful colours make Patagonia in autumn a delight for photographers and hikers alike. The contrasting colours light up the landscape as the mountains soar above. The winds also drop-back again, making the temperature quite pleasant for hiking and other outdoor activities.
Most of the hiking trails and main attractions are closed in winter so you may wish to avoid visiting during this time. However, the National Parks are often considered their most picturesque during this time, making winter an incredible time for photographers. It is extremely cold (average high 15ᴼC / low 0ᴼC) and the wind adds an additional chill factor, so you need to bring the right clothing to keep warm. The days are short (8-9 hours of daylight) but give you plenty of time to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the many excellent lodges.
The temperature is cool (average high 17ᴼC / low 3ᴼC) but if you desire a more private experience and are prepared with suitable gear, you will find Spring an exceptional time to visit. You will be spoilt with colourful spring bloom and a greater possibility of spotting some of the more timid animals due to fewer visitors. The winds are often not as strong as they can be during other seasons and accommodation is priced to reflect the ‘shoulder’ season.
EcoCamp Patagonia was the highlight of our trip. Our own snug eco dome with a fire-place. Every night we with met with other world travellers (including Australians) to hear about the easy, moderate and extreme activity choices on offer for the following day. The staff were like family and took great effort in ensuring our comfort and guidance. We enjoyed sensational food including fresh seafood. We chose the glacier trip, wild horse spotting, mountain biking and bush walking.
