Being an extremely long country, over 4300 kilometers, Chile has several different climate zones with very different weather patterns. In general it’s perfectly possible to comfortably visit year round from Santiago & the Central Region up to the Peruvian border. However from the Lake District further down to the deep south of Patagonia winter time is definitely not the most pleasant time to go.

Uruguay’s summer, from December to February, with really pleasant temperatures that rarely go ridiculously high, is also the high season. From Christmas on it gets crowded in Uruguay’s beach destinations with nationals but also with Argentinean and Brazilian tourists. Expect prices to rise!

Argentina is the 2nd largest country in South America. It has a population of 40 million, of which approx. 1/3 live in the capital, Buenos Aires.

From the hot and dry northwest to the thunderous glaciers of Patagonia, from the staggering Andes mountain range ot the fertile Pampas, it’s possible to find and do everything in this land of contrasts.

Chile has an impressive range of geopgraphy and climate. In the extreme north you will find the most arid desert in the world, whereas towards the centre the environment changes completely into fertile lands, beautiful beaches and stunning mountains with excellent skiing.
