Essential Information for your Private Tour of South America
The best time for a trip to South America depends on the region you plan to visit. For example, you’d want to see the Brazilian Amazon during the dry season in April and September. Then, the Galapagos Islands and Southern Brazil are excellent throughout the year. Lastly, it’s best to visit Argentina during spring (September to November) and fall (March to May).
While there are plenty of things to do in South America, there will always be some standout activities. Explore Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the Atacama Desert in Chile, or the ancient wonders of Machu Picchu in Peru. If you enjoy wildlife spotting, you can’t miss the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, Torres del Paine National Park, Iguazu National Park, or Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, all in Argentina.
For foodies, Lima boasts an eclectic global dining scene with seafood dishes and traditional Peruvian flavors. Brazil offers the iconic Christ the Redeemer, or a chance to relax on stunning beaches in Rio while locals play footvolley. Finally, history buffs and art enthusiasts won’t get enough of Buenos Aires.
It’s your trip, done your way. The amount of time you need depends on which region or city you want to visit. However, if you want a good overview of South America, then at least 11 to 15 days should do, as this allows you to explore two or more countries.
South America offers a wonderful tapestry of festivals, and here are some of the most thrilling ones to add to your private tour:
- Mistura Food Festival, Peru: Late August or early September.
- Rio Carnival, Brazil: Late February to early March
- Festival de la Candelaria, Bolivia & Peru: Early February
- Barranquilla Carnival, Colombia: Early March
- Inti Raymi, Peru: June 24th
- Fiestas de Quito, Ecuador: Late November to early December
In general, most tourist areas are safe. However, some regions pose higher risks of petty crime and more severe issues, which require extra caution.
At Enchanting Travels, your safety is a top priority, and your guide will prioritize your safety and well-being throughout your trip. Your trusted guide will make sure you feel totally comfortable and provide 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling.
