While many destinations around the world are experiencing autumn in full swing during the month of November, others in the Southern Hemisphere are gearing up for summertime. Whether you’re looking for a chilly, not-yet-winter vibe or a springtime, cooler-than-summer atmosphere, November, the shoulder season for many tourist hot spots, offers mild temperatures.
These are the best places to travel in November around the world:
1. Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Patagonia is one of the most spectacular places on Earth, and Torres del Paine National Park in Chile has some of the region’s most impressive landscapes. One of the most famous hikes is the O Circuit, which has ever-changing scenery throughout the trek, featuring mind-blowing rock formations, an ice field, and incredible vistas.
Tourism season in Patagonia is just beginning in November, as it’s the start of summer in the Southern hemisphere. That means you’ll have great weather in Torres del Paine, with sparser crowds than in busier summer months like December and January. Plan to spend at least a week exploring Torres del Paine; check out this 9-day itinerary to give you a better idea of how to spend your time there.
2. Chiang Mai, Thailand
While many travelers rave about the beaches in Thailand, I think the mountains surrounding Chiang Mai in the northern part of the country are where the magic is. Chiang Mai is a small city, but it packs a punch with its abundance of activities, like visiting an elephant sanctuary or climbing up to a hilltop temple at Doi Suthep or Doi Kham.
November is the perfect time to visit, because the weather is cooler and drier this time of year. Otherwise, the soaring temperatures and high humidity might make it more difficult to enjoy outdoor activities, like hiking in the surrounding mountains.
