Weather conditions in Ayacara, Patagonia South Chile

Given that Chile stretches from 18ºS to 56ºS, and reaches from sea level to heights exceeding 6,000m, it is not surprising that there exists a huge range of climates. As a general rule, temperatures drop and rainfall increases as you move south through Chile, but this is strongly influenced by the local topography. The far north of Chile is one of the driest areas in the world

The Lakes region: Pleasant but changeable weather in the summer. Cold and wet in the winter with snow in the Andes.

Recommendations - What clothes to bring:
In the Summer season (December to March) bring along summer cloths, though do not forget to include some warmer cloths and some for the rainy days.

Bring along comfortable and water resistant shoes (hiking shoes are the best. It is best to purchase your shoes well in advance to allow proper break-in time).

Also do not forget a waterproof sunscreen lotion and lip balm (SPF 15 or higher).

We recommend you to bring a wide range of clothes in preparation for the unpredictable weather you will probably be confronted with in the south.

It is better to have lots of thin layers rather than one thick layer so that you can adapt to the changing weather. Make sure you have waterproofs, preferably breathable, a pair of gloves, a brimmed hat to protect you from the sun and rain, a good pair of walking boots and a pair of sunglasses.

When to Go
Spring and summer, from November to April is the best season to go, these are the drier months than the winter months, but expect rain at any time. Rain is heavier during May to October, and cold.
