September in Chile

Flowering deserts possible up north

Up north, September sometimes heralds the arrival of the Flowering Desert near Copiapó in the Atacama. Mile after mile of the usually hostile desert are covered by colourful lowland flowers. The first couple of weeks of September are still within ski season in central Chile. Around the Lakes, this can be a great month for a range of other activities too – particularly rafting. With luck, late September can often bring beautiful weather and this is a nice time to explore the region when few other people are around. In Patagonia, the weather is still very cold. Winds pick up now so it can be a challenging month. There is no great advantage weather-wise in pre-empting the start of the season, so wait another month until everything opens back up for spring.
