It is important to understand that Chile is a long and narrow country, and that it is located in the very south of the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the seasons of this &#8220;country at the end of the world&#8221; are the <strong>opposite of North America and most of Latin America.<\/strong> Here, winter runs from June to August and southern summer from November to January. But the elongated shape of Chile also offers another peculiarity: its climate! In fact, this country alone contains <strong>6 different climates!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From North to South you will find these distinct climatic zones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Desert: in the far north and the Atacama Desert (the driest in the world!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Semi-desert: in Norte Chico, including Copiapo, La Serena and Elqui Valley<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mediterranean: in the central region, including Santiago and Valpara\u00edso<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Temperate rainfall: in the lakes region and Chilo\u00e9, including Castro and Puerto Varas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold and rainy: in Patagonia and up to Tierra del Fuego<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subtropical: in the Pacific, on Easter Island and the Juan Fernandez Archipelago (Robinson Crusoe)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It should also be noted that the Chilean coasts, as in Portugal, are crossed by the Humboldt <strong>Current,<\/strong> a cold sea current that makes swimming refreshing all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the basics of Chile&#8217;s climate, let&#8217;s move on to our detailed analysis of the best times to go on <strong>vacation to your most highly anticipated destinations!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"nord\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-9090\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DSC08867-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>The best time to go to the North of Chile<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atacama Desert is one of Chile&#8217;s bucket list destinations. We will group it with the Extreme North (Arica, Putre, Iquique) and the Norte Chico (Copiapo, La Serena, Elqui) to speak generally about the north of Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"temperatures-nord\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Temperature of northern Chile<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature in northern Chile ranges from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit all year round. The nights can be cool but it almost never rains (this is the advantage of the desert!). For those who want to venture into the peaks and volcanoes of Atacama, which can climb above 20,000 feet, you will find colder temperatures, especially at night. You will even sometimes find snow at high altitudes. Here, it is not uncommon for temperatures to drop below 32 degrees in winter during the night. On the site of the geysers, in the middle of winter and before sunrise, the thermometer often displays -5 degrees. But don&#8217;t worry, once the sun rises, the feeling of extreme cold dissipates quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ocean temperature in the northern region remains fairly stable between 65\u00b0F and 73\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"saison-nord\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ideal season for a holiday in the North of Chile<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to its sunshine and pleasant temperatures all year round,<\/strong> it is possible to visit the North of Chile at any time during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is a special phenomenon in the Atacama Desert called <strong>the altiplanic winter,<\/strong> or &#8220;invierno Boliviano&#8221; during the austral summer of Chile. For a few weeks, the humid air masses coming from the Amazon (at that time in the middle of the rainy season) turn into precipitation once they cross the Andes mountain range and come in contact with the hot and dry desert air. The altiplanic winter is unpredictable and can occur between late December and mid-March. In recent years, the phenomenon has occurred almost every year, with a peak in February. A good local guide will be able to find you activities adapted to the situation, but it is still better to avoid the risk if your dates are flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our favorite months to visit the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, and <a href=\"https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/en\/complete-guide-to-the-salar-de-uyuni\/\">the Uyuni Desert in Bolivia <\/a><\/strong><strong>are<\/strong> September, October, November, early December, mid-March, April, and early May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"astronomie\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The ideal period for astronomy in Chile<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Astronomical observation of the sky of Atacama in Chile\" class=\"wp-image-9046\" style=\"width:1024px;height:768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelcoachchile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ciel-etoiles-astro-atacama-chili-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Astrophysicists or amateur astronomers will find themselves in paradise because <strong>the sky of the Atacama Desert is one of the purest in the world.<\/strong> However, there are still seasons to favor to guarantee the best conditions for observation. Ideally, it is better to avoid January and February, the riskiest months of the altiplanic winter, which cause unstable and cloudier weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The season from April to September is perfect for <strong>observing the brilliant Milky Way. <\/strong> Even if the Southern Cross is not visible all year round, know that each month presents its own variety of special features to observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recommend that you consult a lunar calendar to confirm that your visit does not coincide with the full moon. In fact, tours are not offered 7 days before and 7 days after the full moon because this period is not conducive to astronomical observation due to the moon&#8217;s brightness. That being said, the sight of the moon rising over the Andes mountain range is a majestic spectacle in its own right! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"animaux-nord\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ideal time for animal observation in Atacama<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the misconceptions that we might have about the desert (e.g., that the desert is devoid of life), the <strong>arid north of Chile is filled with fauna and flora<\/strong> adapted to this environment! For nature and animal lovers, the ideal season to observe them is during summer (January-February). But you can find animals all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three species of pink flamingos&#8211;<\/strong>Andean flamingos, Chilean flamingos but also James&#8217; flamingos&#8211; are numerous during the austral summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little luck you can also capture photos of South American <strong>gray foxes<\/strong> and <strong>viscachas <\/strong>(visaches), a kind of cross between a rabbit and a chinchilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atacama Desert is also filled with <strong>guanacos, vicu\u00f1as, and other llamas and alpacas,<\/strong> wild or domestic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rando-nord\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Best season for hiking in Chile<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers will particularly appreciate the North outside the altiplanic winter.

Especially since you are never safe from a sudden change in climatic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Tierra del Fuego and up through Cape Horn,<\/strong> the weather is even more harsh and uncertain. It is truly THE destination where correctly <strong>choosing the dates<\/strong> of your trip is <strong>essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"temperatures-sud\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Temperature of southern Chile<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following section is for those who want to talk &#8220;numbers&#8221; to prepare their trip (for those who just want to know whether or not they have chosen the right season for Patagonia, go directly to the next paragraph). Here is an overview of the temperatures and precipitation of southern Chile and Argentina:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In the lakes region<\/strong> (Valdivia, Pucon, Puerto Varas) temperatures in winter range from 40\u00b0F to 50\u00b0F and in summer from 50\u00b0F to 75\u00b0F. The average precipitation is 20 rainy days in winter and 10 days in summer. The water temperature is about 60\u00b0F all year round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Chilo\u00e9 archipelago<\/strong> has an average temperature of 40\u00b0F to 66\u00b0F.<br>There are about 10 rainy days a month, almost all year round. The water temperature on the island hovers around 50 degrees Fahrenheit on average. It is therefore not recommended for those who are intolerant to the cold or for those whose consider &#8220;sun&#8221; a crucial ingredient in their vacations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chilean and Argentine Patagonia<\/strong> experience temperatures from 30\u00b0F to 60\u00b0F in summer. It rains on average 8 days a month. You can forget about swimming, since the water never exceeds 50\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <strong>Tierra del Fuego,<\/strong> the thermometer rarely changes to negative but almost never passes 50\u00b0F either (which can be appealing). It rains an average of 14 days a month, especially in summer when the cold is milder. It goes without saying that swimming is not recommended in these icy waters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"saison-sud\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ideal time to go to the South of Chile and Argentina<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To visit Patagonia, the rule is to leave between late spring and early autumn. <strong>The ideal period is therefore from the end of November to the beginning of March. <\/strong> It is during this season that sailing, cruises, and other water activities such as kayaking are available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the option I advise you to visit <strong>Patagonia and the South in general in January.<\/strong> In the middle of summer before the Chilean school holidays, you will have the best possible weather and find fewer tourists than in February (note that December and March are also decent options).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reach the <strong>extreme south, Cape Horn, or Tierra del Fuego,<\/strong> also favor the middle of summer,<strong> <\/strong>December to February. During this season, you will have warmer days (about 50 degrees). You will especially avoid the waves of frigid polar cold that arrive from April to September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

will be necessary to choose the summer or autumn season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But since each species has a distinct lifestyle, to see some Patagonian animals&#8211;whether in the parks on the mainland or in Tierra del Fuego&#8211;you must follow their calendars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Whales and orca<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Southern right whales are found in Patagonia, especially on the Argentine side, from <strong>early June to mid-December. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humpback whales and blue whales are visible from December to May, particularly on Carlos III Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The white whale can be observed in December, March, and April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, you will also find orca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery
