August in Chile

Calm in Paine and clear in Atacama - a lovely out of season combo

August is another full month of skiing with resorts in central Chile still at their peak. Though the depths of winter, this is a very beautiful and special time of year in Torres del Paine, with very calm weather, short days, and almost no-one else about. Again, the Carretera Austral is effectively shut down so you can not expect to travel northern Patagonia. Up In northern Chile, this is another cold and clear month. The light at this time of year is particularly good for photography, providing there aren’t any strong winds.
