"In southern Brazil you will hit off-on rain in August and Sept (different from the Amazon area which is HEAVY rains from Dec to March.
You will want to see Bolivia and Peru, but not until May can you really drive anywhere in the jungle areas of those two countries because of the rainy season.
March-April is when the rains (light rains, but most every day in the afternoon) fall in the central Andes. Not so bad as you can plan your day to leave early and arrive at your next destination by 2:00 pm
IMHO, I would try to hit the central jungle and Andes parts May to Nov, and save the southern and northern SA places for Dec to March. Little hard to do... but with a some imagination and a twisty,turny route, it can be done!"
Toby this is really helpful - my plan is to be in BA mid Jan (get street wise & learn spanish). Use Feb to get to Ushaia and then use March to get up to Santiago.
Are you saying it will be best to take a month in & around santiago before heading north?
Many thanks
