The Best Time to Go Hiking in Patagonia
Early November until late April are generally the best times to go hiking in Patagonia, however this can change from year to year due to varying amounts of snowfall.
Not a fan of the cold? Try and head there in February and March for the warmer months for some great Patagonia trekking.
