The weather in the Monte desert is very hot and dry, because of little rain they get. So I suggest that you bring cool clothes. It rains between 80 and 300mm a year. One of the characteristics about it is isothermia which mean temperatures change only between 13.4 degrees and 17.5 degrees C, because of its great latitudinal extension. The dry season lasts up to 9 months. Rains don’t come on summer except in the south where there is
more rain throughout the year. The best season depend how you like the weather. So if you like hot desert you would want to come at summer, but you can go to the southern part where it rains. You could visit Bella Monte resort which has Desert Hot Springs pumping into everyone’s rooms.

Although a difference between this desert and the other
two deserts is the lack of amount of effect from the cold water currents off the South American coast for the Monte Desert. This allows the desert to support a wider variety of life than the other two more extreme deserts.
