What are the ideal times to visit Chile and Argentina?
Because of their temperate climates, the North of Chile and the North of Argentina are ideal year-round destinations. Temperatures average 25 to 35 degrees Celsius (70-90 degrees Fahrenheit), making for comfortable travel. However, it is best to visit certain destinations during specific seasons: Patagonia experiences strong winds and occasionally severe weather from April through October; November to March is therefore the best time to visit. Additionally, the ideal time to visit Peninsula Valdés is between August (when whales arrive for mating season) and December (when the last females leave with their young).
