Patagonia is an expansive region located in the southernmost parts of South America, straddling Argentina and Chile. It encompasses a varied landscape stretching from the Andes mountains to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, including glaciers, lakes, valleys, and arid deserts.
Argentine Patagonia covers the provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, and Santa Cruz. Major destinations here include the Los Glaciares National Park, home to the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier, and the seaside resort town of Puerto Madryn, famous for whale watching. Chilean Patagonia comprises the regions of Aysén and Magallanes, covering large expanses of wilderness and featuring breathtaking destinations like Torres del Paine National Park.
Patagonia's remoteness adds to its mystique. You can marvel at its natural wonders and rugged beauty through an array of outdoor adventures across this expansive territory shared by Argentina and Chile.
The best time to visit Patagonia for most travelers is during the Southern Hemisphere spring, September to November, and fall, March to May, which are opposite seasons to the Northern Hemisphere.
Visiting Patagonia in spring offers mild temperatures and less wind than the summer. You will be rewarded with wildflowers blooming and abundant wildlife. The days start getting longer by September, making it ideal for experiencing Patagonia’s natural highlights like Torres del Paine National Park and the Perito Moreno glacier. Fall brings similar cool and calm conditions. The foliage takes on intense autumnal hues, and whales begin their migration north. You can also avoid the peak summer crowds of the high season.
Deciding the best time to visit Patagonia depends on the types of activities and experiences you want to prioritize, and we can help you find the right time for you throughout the year.
With its immense size and variety of landscapes, narrowing down the best places to visit in Patagonia can be overwhelming. Here are some of the top destinations in Patagonia to help you decide where to go:
- Bariloche, Argentina: Set amidst pristine lakes and soaring mountains, Bariloche's stunning alpine scenery makes it one of Argentina's top outdoor playgrounds. Adventure seekers can hike mountains, go whitewater rafting, and ski at a world-class resort, while foodies enjoy the local chocolate and cultural scenes.
- Torres del Paine National Park, Chile: Torres del Paine National Park is a stunning natural paradise, luring visitors with its iconic granite peaks, radiant blue glacial lakes, and opportunities for epic multi-day treks. Hiking through Patagonia's quintessential mountain landscape lets you experience the park's staggering natural beauty up close.
- El Calafate, Argentina: The gateway town to Los Glaciares National Park, El Calafate provides easy access to the magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier and azure lakes dotted with icebergs. Visitors can experience this icy wonderland through glacier hiking, boat tours, and viewing platforms that bring you face-to-face with Perito Moreno's massive advancing ice wall.
