Chile and Argentina

A dramatic twin-nation journey from the bone-dry Atacama to the wild expanse of Patagonia.

Best Season: The optimal window for visiting both Chile and Argentina is during the Southern Hemisphere summer, from November to March. During these months, days are longest, high-mountain passes are clear of snow, and Patagonia's trails are accessible. However, if your primary goal is wine tasting in Mendoza or seeing autumn foliage in Bariloche, shoulder months like April and May offer golden hues and fewer crowds.

Big Sur

Where the Santa Lucia mountains dramatically plunge into the roaring Pacific.

Best Season: September through November offers the ideal window for visiting Big Sur. During these autumn months, the summer coastal fog largely dissipates, revealing crystal-clear blue skies and warm temperatures. Additionally, the summer tourist crowds have thinned, making it much easier to secure lodging, find parking at popular viewpoints, and enjoy hiking trails in peaceful solitude. Spring (April to May) is also exceptional for vibrant wildflowers and rushing waterfalls, though mornings can be crisp and foggy.
