Travel to the South of Chile is best in December to March (summer); the Torres Del Paine National Park is open all year round, but due to snow and daylight restrictions only day excursions are possible, and much of the transport is restricted. The Lake District visited between October and April is good, but the most pleasant weather is between September and November (spring). In Santiago during the summer it is very warm (December to February) and in the winter (June to August) very smoggy.
