Seasons
Temperatures in Chile vary a lot with the height and whether we have sunshine or clouds. As a general rule we have high temperatures only with direct sunshine, as soon as the sun disappears, at night or because it's cloudy, temperatures drop immediately. In Pucón and on the ranch from January to March you can count on 25 degrees Celsius up in the day. At night however, temperatures go down to 10-15 degrees Celsius. On a ride in the heights of National Park Villarrica you may get temperatures near the freezing point at night, even in summer.

The weather is usually fine starting from October, with pleasant temperatures. However, we do not start running this tour before November because snow usually stays until that time, high up in the mountains. The best time of the year to visit weather-wise is probably mid December to March as temperatures are warm and there is a low possibility for rain.

Please note that as Chile is in the southern hemisphere, seasons are opposite to the seasons on the northern hemisphere. 
 

Special note - altitude
Pucon is situated on the entrance of a huge valley that reaches right into the center of the Andes at a height of 200meters/660 feet above sea level. The main house is at 350 meters/1150 feet. Behind the paddocks the mountain within 1.5 kilometers/ 0.9 miles rises to 1200 meters/4000 feet. On the trails we cross passes at about 2000 meters/6600 feet but ride into lower regions for the night camps. Generally speaking the Andes in southern Chile are not as high as further north. The highest peaks around are Volcano Villarrica with 2,860 m (9,380 ft) 14 km/8,6 miles away and Lanin with 3,776 m (12,388 ft) 70 km/44 miles away.
