San Martín de los Andes offers a unique experience throughout the year. The best time to visit really depends on your preferences. Summer, from December to February, provides warm weather ideal for outdoor activities like swimming and hiking in the mountains. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer pleasant temperatures with fewer tourists and potentially lower prices. If winter sports are your thing, then June to August, when the snow falls and the mountains become a winter wonderland, is perfect for you.
