Peak season:
It’s almost impossible to say what the peak season is in South America because of the different countries within the continent. Both Argentina and Brazil can be visited practically all-year round as the weather stays warm for most of the time. A lot of tourists do prefer to travel there during the peak season which starts around December and runs all the way through to March. The weather is at its hottest then and it can be humid. You will struggle to find cheap flights to South America between December and March so bear this in mind when you’re looking for flight tickets. Chile has climatic variations between the north and south parts of the country. You can generally visit the north of Chile at any point in the year and still enjoy warm weather. Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia all have two main seasons – wet and dry. Due to that the peak seasons for each country will vary.
Off season:
Similarly to the peak season, it can be very difficult to predict the off season for South America as a whole. To find the cheapest flights to South America then consider travelling to Argentina or Brazil between June and October. This is classed as the winter months but you can still expect warm weather. The south of Chile can see heavy snowfall from June to September which makes it easier to find cheap flights to South America although if you’re hoping for sunshine and beach weather it might be best to avoid.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to South America, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, January is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 23.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of June, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 17.0 C).
The most important thing is to make sure your flights to South America are booked as far ahead of time as possible. Cheap flights to South America are available throughout the year but obviously they vary from country to country. Aim to have your flight tickets secured at least five months before you want to travel or if you are visiting for a specific event such as the Carnival in Brazil, then the sooner you’ve secured accommodation and flight tickets the more money you will save. Ultimately you’ll want to narrow down where you want to travel and then start researching peak times, festivals and the climate. This will help you figure out when the best time to book a flight to South America is and allow you to save money where possible.

Passagem cara. Mala quebrada de porão. Me negaram repetir uma simples lata de cerveja num voo de mais de 8 horas. Poltronas pouco reclinam. O negócio é colocar gente para dentro fechar a porta e faturar
