We are going on a cruise leaving Santiago, Chile in November and going all the way around South America?

Question

and ending at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Will it be Spring down there then? I assume that it will be cold while going around the tip of South America because it is so close to the South Pole. Is that right?

Answer 1

The Southern summer starts in December, so it shouldn't be as cold as winter, but you will probably get a lot of rain (something that usually happens in that region when the seasons are changing).

Answer 2

In November, the daily temperatures in Santiago are: minimum of 9o C, and maximum of 26o C.

Ushuaia: (in the tip of South America):

minimum: 9o C

maximum: 12o C

Buenos Aires:

minimum: 17 oC

maximum: 23 oC

Answer 3

You are going to have a fabulous time!  I was in Santiago last November and it was quite warm and lovely.  However, I was also in Patagonia and it was freezing!  Definitely pack many layers.  I would suggest investing in some good base layers of Capalene or long underwear as well as a good jacket or fleece.  Don't bring too many warm things, though because you'll be cooking in Buenos Aires, too!

Bon Voyage!

Answer 4

That sounds right to me but I really dont know. I wanted to say that sounds like a really great cruise!!!  Have fun.

Answer 5

yes, if you go to santiago the  time will be warm but the south is very cold,  

Las Torres del Paine  or Puerto Monnt are very beautiful places  

you should take a sheltered jacket  

take care and enjoy chile
