When to travel
The right time to travel depends on where you are going. Peru, Chile, and Argentina all follow a similar pattern, the dry season between May and October suits the Andes, while Patagonia works best from November to March. Brazil’s Pantanal is most rewarding for wildlife between July and October.
Mexico and Costa Rica can be visited for much of the year, with December to April offering the most settled conditions across both. If you are combining destinations, timing needs to be considered carefully so that conditions work across each part of the journey.
