Fun Time in Argentina

Argentina is a large country placed in the South America, between Chile on the left, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay on the right side and Bolivia above it. This country really has to offer many different and interesting things for every tourist. You can do what ever you like including things like skiing, hiking and horse ridding. What ever you choose it’s going to be an adventure for sure.

Before you start planning your trip you first need to decide what would you like to see and do, and how many things you can see and do in your time of vacation. Decide if you want to go to the mountains or the sea (or country) and than start to think about some particular things like accommodations and flights.

What is the weather like?

The weather in Argentina varies from subtropical to winter cold; it depends in what part of the country you are. It’s hard to speak generally about the weather in Argentina because it’s different in different parts of the state. But I will try to inform you about the weather you can expect in different time of the year.

The important thing to remember is that Argentina is placed in the Southern Hemisphere which means that the seasons are inversed (when the winter is in the US, in Argentina is summer). The weather there can be very tricky and rapidly changing, especially in the parts that are close to the Andes. The weather there is really unpredictable so you should be careful cause the rainfall and floods are often and extreme heat or even snow are not rare either.

Mostly Argentina is really nice country with nice weather but there are parts that you may avoid. The south is very cold and winters can be brutal there so you should be careful. There is no need to go far south (unless you want to for some reason) because most of the hotels and attractions are closed.

Of course, the seasons with most attractions are summer and winter. Especially nice is Patagonia. It is very mild during the year with many attractions, but it can also be very unpredictable and it can change drastically without notice.

Few things you should try to remember is that the seasons are reversed which means that the summer lasts from December-March and the winter lasts from June-July. If you are looking for the most enjoyable weather that you should absolutely come in March, April, September, October and November.

Crowds in Argentina

Unfortunately the crowd is hard to avoid, unless you want to go in the low season. Yes, the high season and in the time of holidays the crowd is unavoidable. So, if you don’t like crowds than don’t go during the summer, winter or holidays. Or if you must try to stay somewhere out of town.

Fun time in Argentina

The choice is yours because there are no things that you can not do in Argentina. Really, there is something for everyone. To help you get started, here are some things that you can do by season:

Autumn (Apr-May)
Patagonia – sightseeing, especially in the north part
Northwest – trekking, horse riding
Northeast – visiting Iguassu Falls

Winter (Jun-Aug)
North Patagonia/Mendoza – skiing
Northeast – Iguassu Falls
Northeast – visit the subtropical forest (yungas)

Spring (Sep-Nov)
Buenos Aires – the most beautiful season, especially in November with the jacarandas in blossom
Patagonia – The whales come to Peninsula Valdes
Cuyo – great weather to visit the vineyards and taste the wine
Pampas – Visit the estancias and taste great barbecues (asados)

Summer (Jan-Feb)
Patagonia – trekking, horse riding, sightseeing in general, fishing
Parana River – fishing
Beaches – do nothing
Andes – trekking, alpinism, horse riding
Cordoba – enjoying the hill country

The cheapest time for visit

We can divide the tourist flow into two parts – the high season (most visited) and the low season (less visited). Of course, many people are here in the high season (December-February and July-August) because of the most appropriate weather but, for the same reason the prices are the biggest during that time. So if you would like to avoid the high prices you will have to avoid the high season also. That’s bringing us to the low season (September, April and June) where the prices us the lowest and is less crowded. But the weather in the low season is not so good but not bad either. Unfortunately it’s all about money. It’s your choice and you know the best what can and can not afford.

That’s it!

Ok, you have all the basic info, now you can start with real planning like booking your flights and finding the right accommodation.

Have a nice trip!
