In Patagonia, the weather is very changeable. It’s not uncommon to experience all four seasons in a single day, or in just a few hours. We recommend visiting throughout the open season, from September (the beginning of Spring in Patagonia) through to April, when the lengua trees turn ablaze with the arrival of autumn.
