We want to go down to Ushaia and cross over to Antarctica. Can anyone advise what the best months of the year are to do that.
THanks,
Cyrille
Reply to this You can only travel to Antarctica from Ushuaia between October and March. December and January tends to be the most popular but also the priciest time. I've only been once and that was in early December. At that time of year we were able to do all our landings, saw plenty of wildlife and we experienced all types of weather. There's more info on my Antarctica blog if you need more details: http://www.travelblog.org/Antarctica/blog-229144.html
Also, if you have lots of time and want to save money you could leave booking your trip until you get to Ushuaia, there are usually cheaper last minute deals on offer there.
Reply to this Hi,
Was there last Feb.
For cheap prices, november look the best. If you want to see the Emperor penguins, you need to go before middle of December.
Amazing trip to do, but to get the good deals, book today! For last minutes, not really sure as the best boats are packed months in advance...so for quality/right price, don't leave it to last minute.
My little trip on my blog.
Peter
