Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere starts in March and is characterized by its change of colors. As the Southern Hemisphere moves away from the summer solstice, daylight hours gradually decrease. This means shorter days and longer nights, leading up to the winter solstice.
Patagonia in autumn is like nothing you have seen before, a time when the leaves wave like flames in the sky and the crowds disappear, leaving a barren, sparse landscape dotted with galloping guanacos, towering snow-covered peaks, and beautiful foliage as far as the eye can see. This season draws seasoned and amateur photographers who snap up the colors and the animals with happy DSLRs, reveling in the fact that the fauna is so much more abundant and inquisitive outside of the busy season.
Be sure to remember your layers, breathable fabrics, and good shoes, and be prepared for all weather. Our sister blog over at Cascada Expediciones has some fantastic information about each of the seasons and what gear you should bring so make sure you give those a read.
And, just in case you want to binge a bit more on Patagonia, here is a bonus video taken when the explorer and writer, Amyr Klink, visited us at EcoCamp. Enjoy!
