What is the best time of year to travel on the Trans-South America tour?
We will pass through a variety of climates. In our summertime you can expect some cold nights (40°F) and cool days (about 60°) in Santiago, San Pedro, Salta and Cafayate. In this period the ski slopes near Santiago are in full swing (2400-3400m.). In Vina del Mar, La Serena, Missiones, Foz and Curitiba the nights are cool (50°-60°), but during the day it is sunny and about 70°-80°F. In Parati and Rio days are sunny and warm, from 75°-85°F. In spring or fall it is a bit warmer everywhere and you can add about 15°F to our summer temperatures. There is real summer-like weather everywhere here in our wintertime. During the day temperatures everywhere climb past 85°F. On this tour it is possible to go snowboarding and snorkeling in one vacation! You can make hikes through deserts, across snowcapped mountains and through a damp rain forest.
