When and Where to Travel in Argentina?

We’ve put together recommendations on which regions of Argentina to visit, month by month.

January: the height of summer and peak season for most of Argentina’s tourist destinations. Head as far south as you can, to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, to avoid the crowds.
February: watch southern right whales as they pass the Valdés Peninsula.
March: the best time for the Lake District.
April: Mendoza is buzzing with wine-related activities, including wine-tasting tours!
May: the second-best time after spring to visit Buenos Aires.
June: enjoy dry, cool winters in Mendoza and the wine region.
July: surprisingly, midwinter is the sunniest season in Salta and the northwest, perfect for day trips to the surrounding rock formations!
August: visit Buenos Aires for the Tango World Festival.
September: the dry month makes it easier to explore the trails at Iguazú Falls. It’s also the best time to explore Patagonia in winter, starting with the ski resorts of Bariloche.
October: aim for the second half of October for the best views of Iguazú Falls while avoiding the peak-season crowds, or head to the Valdés Peninsula during the best months to spot southern right whales and orcas.
November: the best time to explore Buenos Aires, just before peak season begins, or to escape the crowds and explore the Atlantic coast.
December: although it’s the start of peak season, it’s the best month for hiking in the national parks around El Chaltén, El Calafate and Ushuaia in Patagonia.
