Climate Overview

When to visit Argentina?

Due to the climatic differences, it is difficult to speak of a best travel season for the whole of Argentina. Nevertheless, there are also very good possibilities for round trips through the impressive country to combine the different regions.

In general, the capital Buenos Aires is suitable for a visit all year round, the winter is quite short and remains pleasantly mild. However, the best time to travel for Buenos Aires is during the transitional months in spring and autumn.

The north of Argentina is rather tropical, especially at the Iguazú waterfalls it is very humid all year round. Similar to the northwest (highlands around Salta) the winter months are much cooler, but due to the lower humidity they are more recommendable for a trip.

In southern Argentina, the Argentine summer from November to mid-March is considered the best travel season for Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Many hotels, however, close in the cold winter from June to August, even though winter sports play an increasingly important role in tourism.

You can already see it: The south shines from November to March, the north rather the other way round from March to November. Perfect interfaces for all regions of the country will therefore be created above all in the marginal months of March/April and October.

Highlights and Attractions

Every Argentine traveller should try the traditional tango. To the beat of South American music, locals and holidaymakers dance day and night in lively bars, on the street or in nightclubs. Buenos Aires is considered a real hotspot and is the starting point for many visitors anyway. Also the visit of a steak restaurant should not be missing with your journey.

Another highlight in Argentina is of course the flora and fauna. In every region of the country there is a lot to discover in nature. Especially in the north there is a very diverse fauna. Jaguars, various monkey species, reptiles, parrots and flamingos are just a few examples of wildlife. The south in the Patagonia region is unparalleled in the world and is on the list of places that many holidaymakers should have visited once in their lives.

Visit the cowboys in the pampas, watch penguins on the Península Valdés or admire the imposing waterfalls of Iguazú in the middle of the rainforest. Argentina is perfect for a round trip and can be combined with neighbouring countries such as Brazil, Chile or Uruguay (by ferry from Buenos Aires).
