Cerro Sombrero has the typical "[[semi-arid climate|cold steppe climate]]" of [[Patagonia]] with low annual rainfall, fluctuating between a minimum of 250 mm, increasingly slightly near the south west coast (Felipe Bay), and reaching 400 mm on the east coast, near the Atlantic. |

Migratory species also nest in the area, including the ''bandurria'' ([[black-faced ibis]]) and the ''queltehue'' ([[southern lapwing]]).

The region has no woodland and is dominated by plains of native flora, typical of the Patagonian steppe. It predominantly consists of coarse grasses that grow in dense patches, perennial shrubs with deep roots and foliage resistant to the weather conditions and drought, and a variety of perennial herbaceous plants, often with small, thin, wavy-edged or tooth-edged leaves. The main species are Coirón ([[Festuca gracillima]]), [[Poaceae]]as, Romerillo ([[Lomatia ferruginea]]), two kinds of Patagonian berries, Calafate ([[Berberis microphylla]]) and Murtilla ([[Ugni molinae]]), Vegas, coastal scrub, some species of [[Limonium]] and marshes. |

Cerro Sombrero (Spanish for "Hat Hill") is a village (Spanish: aldea) in southern Chile. It is located in the Primavera commune in the Magallanes Region, in the northern part of Tierra del Fuego, about 125 km from Porvenir. According to the 2002 census, it had 687 inhabitants.[1]
