reversed - with summer roughly November to February,
and winter in June to August.
× Peru is pretty much a year round destination thanks to
its proximity to the equator. However, visit between
January and March and you’ll be slap bang in the
middle of the rainy season.

Brazil experiencing summer temperatures all the way
from November through to March and April where
coastal towns and beaches tend to attract the crowds.

celebrations so bear this in mind if you’re planning on
travelling or finding somewhere to stay without booking 57

February every year - but it's never to soon to be put on
the list.
× October and November are often thought of as the
best times to visit South America as several countries
experience springlike conditions with numerous wild
flowers and newborn animals appearing with the rise in

ACCESSIBILITY

60. 60
Unlike North America, South America still does not have an
adequately integrated transportation network. Significant efforts have been made
to improve both the connections within countries and the linkages between them.
In most South American countries railways have lost their dominant position as
the major mode of transportation and have been replaced by the road networks
that have developed rapidly since the 1960s. Moreover, rail transport is plagued
by operational problems as well as by obsolete equipment.
Air transportation has developed rapidly since World War
II. The increase is particularly significant with respect to
passenger traffic but applies less to the handling of bulky
freight.

61. TOURIST VISA
FOR
SOUTH AMERICA

62. The majority of visas in South America can
be obtained on arrival, however, it is
essential that you check the visa
requirements of every country you will be
