My question is about whether we would be there during the "peak" season,
and when exactly is that season?
I priced flights for me in July, November and March (2014).
It seems that most flights go through Santiago or Sao Paulo, one went
through Atlanta. The lowest cost flight for me is similiar to travel to
Europe not in the summer, but the price rises quite quickly to the $4K
range. The worse rise seems to be March, but that was also the furthest
in the future.

What are the hotel costs?
(I fund my own attendance)
