Come equipped
It is important to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather at any time of the year as the weather in the mountain range is characterized by its unpredictability. Always pack a wide range of clothing, ensure that you bring a warm jacket and the right rain gear, even in the summer.
For outdoor activities:
Clothing for excursions
Wearing layers is the best choice in the south of Chile, bearing in mind that each layer plays a role that helps you adapt to changing weather and thus always be prepared.
We recommend the following:
•First layer: This layer is in direct contact with your skin and is ideal for managing perspiration and moisture (thermal tops, next-to-skin base layers, layers made of Merino wool, synthetic or polyester fibers. In the summer months, it is advisable to wear quick-dry clothes with a sun protection factor).
•Second layer: A fleece jacket to protect against the cold and wind.
•Third layer: This last layer is to protect against the wind and rain (jackets containing waterproof membranes, like Gore-Tex). It is also recommendable to wear waterproof pant covers.
Excursion footwear
For the outdoor activities we offer at the park, we recommend wearing high-cut hiking boots to protect your ankles. Ideally, they will have a Gore-Tex membrane to keep out excessive moisture. Sneakers can also be worn for the easier trails and moving about in and outside of the hotel.
