Microclimate
The most wonderful surprise at the end of the world
Many things will surprise you in Patagonia: light, colors, stars, ice, rivers, silence and people. But you will always be surprised by the weather.
The best climate in Patagonia is found at Lake General Carrera. There are no strong winds, no heavy rains, it is never very cold, and there are many days of sun and agreeable temperatures. It is an ideal climate for enjoying outdoor activities.
At Mallin Colorado you can experience all four seasons in one day. However, the presence of the large ice fields (Campos de Hielo) to the west causes the condensation of the moisture that comes from the Pacific Ocean. This makes our climate fairly arid, with many clear days throughout the year and short rains (800 mm/yr) that occur mainly at night. The temperature in the summer can reach 30˚ C and almost never drops below 4˚ C. Because of our latitude, the days are very long. It´s common to have 16-18 hours of light.
