Travel to South America

The best time to travel to South America largely depends on where you are going. Being a continent stretching from the world's driest desert to soaring Andean peaks and the dense Amazon rainforest, its weather changes more region by region than seasonally.

Certain locations like Brazil could be visited any time of the year, with temperatures remaining between the mid-20s and mid-30s. Other locations, like Patagonia or the Falkland Islands, have more defined seasons. Except for the Falkland Islands, which are best avoided between May to August due to heavier rains, most of the South American countries can be visited anytime.

At Skanda Holidays, we tailor your trip in consideration of the best time to travel to South America, be it for wildlife encounters, glacier hikes, ancient ruins, or colourful festivities. Whatever the cause, there is always a perfect setting and time to satisfy your exploration of the continent, making this the best time to travel to South America.

From the mysterious buildings of Machu Picchu in Peru to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, South America offers the best holiday experiences for all types of travellers. Whether you are considering the beauty of Patagonia, the Amazon Forest, or cities like Cartagena and Buenos Aires, we give you a more memorable journey than ever before. With our tailor-made South America holidays, we guarantee you will explore not just as a tourist but as a traveller engaged in its spirit.
