The majority of travelers believe the summer months, December to February, to be the best time to visit southern Chile since they have the warmest temperatures. Visitors should prepare for spontaneous weather at any time of year because winds are also stronger in these months. The shoulder season, October through November and March through April, obviously have vaguely lower temperatures, on the contrary they also have less wind and fewer tourists so this can be a pleasant time to visit. Vacationers do not usually stay in southern Chile during the winter months of May to September as the bulk of the trails are closed and waterways are frozen.
