Since seasons are reversed,
United State's December is Chile's June; this makes for an ideal winter getaway. The inland fishing season in Chile
opens November 15th, and closes on the first Sunday in May. Peak season is January to March, but fishing can be excellent
throughout the entire season. A local fishing license is required which costs about US$ 55.00. It is best that we arrange
to have this license available when you arrive. For this reason we will need in advance your full name, age and passport number.
Neither shots nor a visa is required to visit Chile.
The Weather
Due to its unique
geography, a variety of climates can be found from the world's driest desert in the north; lush valley's with an abundance
of forests in the center offering mild temperatures similar to California; and, to the south, a land of glaciers and fjords
comparable to Alaska.
You will be in the Southern Zone where the summer weather is generally delightful...normally sunny
or broken cloud cover days with average daytime temperatures ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The nights are cool
and comfortable. As we are everywhere close to the sea, and located amid coastal rain forests, some rain can be anticipated
during an average week. Thus we suggest that you bring wet weather gear, and light, but warm parkas or jackets.The wind chill factor must be considered when dressing for Patagonia's
weather. Wearing layers of proper clothing, insulated underwear, warm gloves, and quality rain gear will ensure your comfort.
And of course do not neglect to bring the obligatory chest waders.
