The weather in Tierra Del Fuego is the opposite of ours. The weather is very hot at
the beginning and end of the year and colder in the middle of the year. The best
time to go would be from January to March because it is not as cold as the rest of
the year and gets a decent amount of rain water which contestants can collect and
drink.

Possible Problem
The tribes may have to deal with rain or snow, both very
abundant in Tierra del Fuego. They can stay in their shelter in
case of rain or snow, and make sure to stay warm in a snow
storm. Weather on Tierra del Fuego is somewhat
unpredictable. it can rain, snow, and be sunny all within a 15
minute time span.
