Patagonia Vacations

Explore The Best Patagonia Vacation in 2022

 

Patagonia is a populated region that is situated at the southern end of the South American continent shared by Argentina and Chile. The region includes the southern section of the gigantic Andes Mountain chains and the deserts to the east. Patagonia is bounded further by the Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It also has many bodies of water that connect them like the Strait of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, and the Drake Passage.

 

What To Expect From Patagonian Vacation?

Big on experiences, Patagonia is known to be among the world's 17 most diverse countries and offers an overall diverse encounter that encompasses glaciers, marble caves, and breath of the ocean wind to a spectacular view of vast mountains. Here are just a few good reasons to plan your vacation in this beautiful region.

 

Cerro Tronador

Cerro Tronadoris a glacier which is located on the outskirts of Bariloche, Argentina, which is also known as the northern gateway to Patagonia. It’s one of the few glaciers where one can truly sleep right next to and watch the sunrise over. This glacier melts and forms pools and small lakes that look absolutely amazing when they reflect the sun's rays during sunsets and sunrises over the mountaintop. This panoramic view mesmerizes tourists.

 

Puyuhuapi’s Bay

Puyuhuapi is a small town in the Chilean fjords along the Carretera Austral. It is a rural, quiet, and kind of place. It has mostly farms as well as small campsites, and boats that line the shore. The water in this area is so calm that it reflects the sunsets brilliantly.

One can also go fishing there. One could also try to talk a local into taking you on his fishing boat. It is also a famous base to explore the national parks which are situated on the outskirts of town.

 

Queulat Glacier

Queulatglacier is a hanging glacier, which is situated at the end of a small ice cap. This glacier splits into two waterfalls while it spills down from a rock face. It is a known fact that there are many hanging glaciers in Patagonia. However, most of them are either hard to access or are not as large and raging as Queulat Glacier and that is what makes it special. A National Park with the same name is located 22km outside the town of Puyuhuapi. One can also camp in the national park overnight.  

 

The Torres 

They are giant, jagged peaks that are covered with glaciers. These peaks are positioned perfectly for the sunrise. The sun’s red reflection on them is mesmerizing. If one wants a better view then one can also hike up in the afternoon to view the sunset.

When it comes to doing things in the top cities in Patagonia, there is much more to do in the country than just hiking from one place to another. If you are not well-versed with the places and the best activities to do while on Patagonian vacation, simply go through with the below information that will guide you about the things to take up when on the leisure vacation:

  • Watching glaciers at Parque Nacional Los Glaciares: Hike and climb the most challenging snow-clad peaks to get your adrenaline-pumping. Watching this glacier is a very sedentary experience.

  • Spotting the wildlife of Parque Nacional Patagonia: It features Patagonian steppe, forests, mountains, lakes, lagoons, and other geographical features. It is also home to flamingo, guanaco, huemul puma, viscacha, fox and other fauna.

  • Having adventures in El Chaltén: Here one can go hiking, rock climbing, and horseback riding. Various mountain climbing and ice-climbing courses are also available.   

  • Whale-watching in Puerto Madryn: It's Warm, more enclosed waters (along the Golfo Nuevo, Golfo San José, and Caleta Valdés) are prime breeding zones for southern right whales. The optimum time is between June and mid-December.

  • Learn about Patagonia's history at Parque del Estrecho de Magallanes: This museum is Patagonia's best museum. Here one can create a vivid picture of the lives of indigenous inhabitants and early settlers.

  • Explore Cueva de las Manos: Cave of the Hands is a proclaimed UNESCO World Heritage site. It has near-vertical walls that have imprints of human hands as well as drawings of guanacos.

It is recommended to go for expert advice by contacting the best Patagonia travel agents before you make the best Patagonia vacation packages. 

When to visit Patagonia

 

The best time to visit Patagonia depends on what you want to do there. Are you interested in hiking in the best national parks in the Patagonia Region? Or do you want to interact with Patagonian wildlife? Or you want to visit astonishing fjords and glaciers by boat? Or do you want to enjoy skiing down some of the South American snowy slopes?

It is often believed that the best time to visit Patagonia is during the peak summer months that is from December to February, but it’s not necessarily true. Summer is the warmest time of year with average high temperatures of around 15°C but during this time of year, Patagonia is infamous for its strong winds and can reach over velocities of 120 miles an hour. Spring and fall seasons are slightly cooler, but the winds - while still potentially wild - tend to be less severe. 

January- April

There will be warm days as well as cool but not cold nights, strong winds are present, and a possibility of rain. Temperatures range between lows in the 30s (6-8 degrees Celsius) and highs in the 60s (17-20 degrees Celsius). However this is a fantastic season to visit as this is the height of the growing season, so the landscape is in full green. There is a high chance of seeing wildlife. But as it attracts large crowds, this crowd drives some species (such as pumas) away. The sky is mostly clear with good visibility during both day and night

Events and Festivals (January-April)

  1. New Year’s Day
  2. Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justine
  3. Day of the Veterans and Fallen of the Malvinas War
  4. Good Friday
  5. Holy Saturday
  6. May-September

It starts to get cold during this time of year. Days are cool and there is a good possibility of rain. There is a possibility of snow later in the season.  However, the flora around the area is mesmerizing. There are fewer crowds, lower rates. Thus it provides good accessibility to areas of the park and amenities and provides great opportunities to see wildlife so it's perfect for photographers and Instagrammers. There is also a possibility of snowstorms and low visibility, as well as unpredictable weather at times, and cold temperatures. This is also the most challenging time of year to visit Patagonia. 

Events and Festivals (May-September)

  • Labour Day

  • National Day

  • National Flag Day

  • Independence Day:

  • Assumption:

  • San Mart:

  • National Unity Day

  • Independence Day

  • Army Day 

October-December 

It is expected to be warm during the day during this time of the year yet nights can still be chilly, with strong winds and a strong possibility of rain.  Temperatures likely range between the 30s (3-7 degrees Celsius) and 60s (14-18 degrees Celsius). However, there is an advantage too. Travelers are fewer in number. Prices are low, so it is a great time to examine plants and wildlife. 

Events and Festivals (October-December) 

  1. Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity
  2. All Saint’s Day
  3. Feast of the Immaculate Conception:
  4. Christmas Day

No matter what month you choose to visit Patagonia, this diverse land has something beguiling and intriguing to offer its visitors.
