Summer takes hold in Patagonia and it is peak hiking season in Torres del Paine and Fitz Roy, although the weather can sometimes be a little unpredictable. Beach lovers should head straight for Colombia’s Caribbean or Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, as both will be basking in brilliant sunshine. The Galápagos is also warm and full of life and in general the Christmas and New Year celebrations bring colour and festivities to the big cities across the continent.
