Best season

Diciembre y marzo son los meses ideales para quienes quieren evitar la concentración de visitantes de enero y febrero. Si el objetivo es la escalada en granito, febrero ofrece las jornadas más largas y estables. Ten en cuenta que la lluvia es parte del paisaje patagónico incluso en verano, por lo que llevar ropa impermeable es imprescindible en cualquier época del año.
