The best time to climb Acotango is during the dry season, from April to October. These months offer clear skies, stable weather, and generally dry trail conditions, making the ascent safer and more enjoyable.

• April to June – Ideal for early season climbs with crisp, dry air and good snow conditions.
• July to September – Coldest but clearest months; minimal snowfall and excellent visibility.
• October – The weather remains dry but becomes slightly warmer as spring conditions begin, typically accompanied by the formation of penitentes—tall, thin ice formations common at high altitudes.

Avoid the rainy season (November to March), when weather is unpredictable and snow or rain can make the route more dangerous.
