Brazil is located in the southern hemisphere, and its winter and summer are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. Every year, it is summer from the end of December to the end of March and winter from the end of June to the end of September. The local summer is the peak tourist season. If you want to avoid crowds and high temperatures above 37 degrees Celsius, April to October is a better time. It is best to travel to Chile from October to April of the following year, when the southern hemisphere is in the period of alternating summer and autumn, with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. As for Argentina, January and February are very hot, while the subtropical areas in the north are very humid (including Iguazu Waterfall). But this is the best season to visit the Andes and southern Patagonia-but you still need to prepare warm clothes. The best seasons in Buenos Aires are spring and autumn. Skiers certainly choose to go to the Andes in winter (June to September).
