Questions we get
Does it rain a lot in Capilla del Monte?
No. About 676 mm a year, almost all between November and March, in afternoon storms that last an hour and leave the sun behind. In June and July it rains 10 mm in the whole month: two rainy days. An "80% chance of rain" here means something falls at some point, not that the day is lost.
Does it snow in Capilla del Monte?
In town, at 980 m, it is exceptional: winter lows average 5 or 6 degrees and drop below zero some nights, but snow makes the news when it happens. On the Uritorco summit, near 2,000 m, some snow can fall in very cold winters.
When is the best time to come?
For hiking and Uritorco: March to May and September to November, mild days and clear skies. For the river: December to February, with its afternoon storms. For stargazing: winter, with cold, very clear nights. July, January, February and Easter are high season: book ahead.
Is it cold at night?
Yes, all year more than you expect: the temperature range is wide. In January the average high is 28° and at night it drops to 18°; in winter the day reaches 15° and the night 5° or less. Always bring a layer, even after a hot day.
Does Uritorco close because of weather?
Yes. The complex closes entry for strong wind, rain or fire risk, and with a storm alert nobody climbs. This page shows active SMN alerts; today's mountain status is on the Uritorco page and the "Now" bar on the home page.
How strong is the sun?
Strong. At 980 m with clean air, the summer UV index is very high and in winter it is still moderate. Hat and sunscreen even when cloudy, especially on the mountain, where half the trail has no shade.
