Weather here can change suddenly, so the best option is to dress in layers. Waterproof clothing and footwear are essential to protect you from rains and snowfalls. In addition to a warm jacket or coat, it is advisable to wear thermal shirts, tights and socks, sweatshirts and fleece or cotton jackets.

In summer, it is advisable to wear waterproof trekking shoes or boots with a sole that allows a good grip when walking. The terrain in the forests and valleys is difficult, and peatbogs, roots and sharp stones can cause serious accidents if you do not have the appropriate footwear.

During winter, boots are absolutely essential for walking around the city, as well as gloves, scarves, beanies and sunglasses with UV protection.

Both in summer and winter it is advisable to use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (higher than 30), since Tierra del Fuego is affected by UV radiation, as a result of the hole in the ozone layer that extends from Antarctica to the southern tip of Patagonia.
