Our travel advisors at GOTOLATAM will assist you and offer you the best tips on that regard based on your itinerary nevertheless South America is a big territory, so you should always verify which portion of the continent you will be traveling to and at what time.

Temperatures and seasons can vary from nation to country, but because several South American countries are among the largest in the world, it is not uncommon for the weather to change abruptly as you travel from one part of the country to another almost overnight. Temperatures are not only influenced by the season, but also by altitude.

You can spend one day on the coast of the Galapagos Islands and the next day approximately 3,000 meters above sea level in Quito. You will shiver at the edge of the globe in Ushuaia one day and sweat in Buenos Aires the next. You get the idea =)

The majority of nationalities do not require visas to enter South America. However, certain countries are required to pay reciprocal fees, our experienced team of travel advisors will assist you first knowing if you need a visa and then with any documentation necessary.

If you plan on visiting more than one South American country during your trip, you should prepare to make currency exchanges or use ATMs. If you're traveling from the United States, you'll have the easiest time exchanging currency in Ecuador because the local currency is the dollar.

You shouldn't keep more money in a foreign country than you'll need there, as the exchange rate can change at any time. This is especially true in countries like Argentina, which has experienced massive inflation over the past few years and whose currency you should avoid holding unless absolutely necessary.

In the majority of South American nations, there is only one rule.

Cash is the king.

Carry a small quantity of local currency and U.S. dollars with you at all times, regardless of your location.

In large, sophisticated cities such as Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, paying with a credit card or withdrawing cash is typically not a problem. However, in rural areas, such as remote places at Patagonia, it will be considerably more difficult to find a location that accepts credit cards.In addition, it is prudent to have $100 to $200 with you at all times.

All the hotels will offer free wifi in addition you can also activate roaming to keep connection with your hometown communication provider, in addition our GOTOLATAM representatives can assist you as well with the purchase of a local prepaid sim card if you prefer.

How physically fit you must be to travel in South America depends on a variety of things.

First, how long do you intend to travel? Second, what activities do you enjoy?

If you enjoy sightseeing and are only in South America for a couple of weeks, you should be able to visit everything on your agenda without being in peak physical condition.

If you wish to go on some walks and spend your time actively, we recommend that you engage in some physical activity at least two months prior to your departure, as you will enjoy your travels significantly better, particularly at high altitude.
