Expert Tips

South America

“South America is a year-round destination, but due to the diversity of the landscapes and climates, each country will have a different best time to go. If possible, consider visiting places in off peak season, where there will be fewer tourists at the main attractions and guaranteed space at the best hotels and restaurants. For attractions such as Machu Picchu or Patagonia, there will be specific times to visit due to weather conditions.”
