Traveling in the spring through South America is a wise decision for several reasons: the cities are not crowded with tourists being that the high season is summer which begins on December 21, the prices of accommodations, flights and excursions are usually considerably lower, and the weather is perfect for doing all kinds of activities from city tours on foot and extreme sports to outdoor ecological experiences. While all South American destinations offer travelers tourist options to spend an excellent vacation, these are the 5 cities that we highlight in Daytours4u to travel to in spring.

Medellín: Spring all year round ideal for outdoor activities

Medellin has an average annual temperature of 22º C and that’s why it is known as the City of Eternal Spring. No matter what time of year you travel to Colombia, you can always visit Medellin and enjoy its natural beauty. We particularly recommend taking advantage of your stay to do outdoor excursions in the city itself, such as the Fernando Botero Walking Tour, where you’ll find the work of one of the most renowned artists in Colombia, and the Medellín Transformation Tour that will take you to discover how the city has changed in the last 40 years, especially after Pablo Escobar. We also advise you to visit the surroundings of Medellín to enjoy a Day in Guatapé and El Peñol and visit the Arví Ecotourism Park, perfect for the whole family.

Buenos Aires: Culture and entertainment at any hour

The cosmopolitan Buenos Aires is one of the tourist cities par excellence of the southern cone. At this time of the year the city dresses in lilac with the flowering of jacaranda trees and shrubs typical of the intertropical and subtropical America, temperatures favor long walks through the streets and parks of Buenos Aires, and the sun goes down later and later. City Walking tours and cultural experiences are probably the best activities to do in spring. Our recommendations for the season are the San Telmo and La Boca Walking Tour, a private walk through the most traditional neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, the Guided Tour of the Teatro Colón, which also includes a walking tour around the theater to discover the architectural details of the surrounding buildings, and the Political Tour: Traces of Buenos Aires, a walk specially designed to learn about the nuances of Argentine history and society. If you also wish to discover the best of Buenos Aires nightlife, the tango shows in Buenos Aires are the classic options that never disappoint, while the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl is a novel journey through the top clubs in the city.

Carmelo: The destination of the romantic getaways of Uruguayans and Argentines

Carmelo is a charming city on the Río de la Plata, located in the department of Colonia in Uruguay. The main attraction of the place are its extensive vineyards, full of history and romanticism. The unmissable activities in Carmelo are, of course, wine tasting, but there is also room for sailing and horseback riding through the vineyards, ideal tours to do in spring. Due to its proximity to Buenos Aires, Carmelo is also a getaway place for porteños and all travelers who are in the Argentine capital. That's why one of our Rioplatense recommendations for Sundays this season is the Carmelo Vineyards Horseback Riding Day and guided tours of El Legado and Campotinto wineries with tasting.

Búzios: The perfect rest by the sea and very close to Rio de Janeiro

The city of Búzios is a beach destination in the State of Rio de Janeiro that can be visited at any time of the year. Its average annual temperature is 25º C and if you travel during the spring months of South America you will have the city all to yourself. Búzios also stands out for its nightlife and the two places you can’t miss are the Orla Bardot promenade and the Rua das Pedras where most of the nightclubs, restaurants, shopping centers and craft galleries are concentrated. If you’re staying in Rio de Janeiro in the next few months and will spend most of your vacation in Brazil, book the One day tour to Búzios and spend an excellent day in this magical place.

Puerto Natales: Patagonian landscapes for lovers of the cold

All the recommended destinations so far have one element in common: the weather, all with temperatures above 20º C. Now, if you’re looking for cold and Patagonian landscapes, Puerto Natales is our recommendation for you in the spring season, especially because it’s the time of year with less wind and rain. From Puerto Natales, a city in the Chilean Patagonia, you will be able to visit unique attractions in South America such as the Torres del Paine and the Perito Moreno Glacier. Let yourself be conquered by this beautiful Chilean city whose landscapes recreate the best of the steppe and the Magellanic forest and the Cordillera de los Andes. The most recommended excursions leaving from Puerto Natales are the Torres del Paine Tour, a 10-hour tour that includes a visit to the Cueva del Milodón, and the Perito Moreno Glacier Tour, a full day that will take you to Patagonia Argentina to witness this awesome natural wonder.
