1. 1. SNOW – First of all, the ice-clad and snow-covered landscape in Torres del Paine during this time of the year is unbeatable. Yes, it is cold with temperatures ranging from 6ºC to -7ºC, but bearable with the right clothing.
   2. AVOID TOURISTS CROWDS – During summertime, crowds of hikers will be exploring with you. Wintertime, with fewer travellers, allows you to enjoy an even more exclusive experience in this spectacular national park.
   3. LOW PRICES – Winter is the low season in Patagonia, so get ready to take advantage of savings compared with the high season.
   4. ACCOMMODATION – In the past, many hotels inside the park didn’t open during winter. However, because of the high demand all year round, many hotels are fully open during winter.
   5. WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS – Last but not least, you can expect to come across the untamed puma, foxes, huemul deer, woodpeckers, cougars, and guanacos.

The most important reason of all: Because now you can travel in June! Check out this fantastic itinerary Contours Travel prepared for you to enjoy the snowy beauty of winter.
