Climate
Located in the so called Wet Andes –a climatic and glaciological sub region of the Andes mountain range– this part of Patagonia is mostly lush green, with a volatile climate that can spin all four seasons into a single day. This volatility translates in flora as varied as the climate itself, including dense forests, Patagonian steppe, mountainous scrubland and Andean desert. Likewise, the glaciers of the Wet Andes are far more stable than those of the Dry Andes due to summer precipitations, low thermal oscillations and overall high moisture.
Wifi & Voltage
