FAQ

What is the whether like in January in Argentina, Chile and Peru ?
January is part of the summer in Argentina, Chile and Peru.

In Chile, because of the length of the country (4000 km), there are different climates from North to South. The North, which is desert, can be visited all the year. The central region is temperate. Be careful with the difference in temperatures between day and night.

According to its geographical location (in the tropical southern hemisphere), Peru should have a warm, humid and rainy. However, the presence of the Andes, the anticyclonic circulation of the South Pacific and Humboldt cold current environmental conditions have been determined, giving rise to a variety of climates. On the coast almost never rains, the average annual temperature ranges barely between 14 º C and 18 º C. In summer (December-April), the humidity decreases and the sun shines brightly. In the valleys you can find dry and mild weather for most of the year, with some rain during the summer.
