Travel guide: Argentina 🇦🇷

Best time to go

• Spring (September to November) and Autumn (March to May) are excellent times to visit Argentina, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months. It's perfect for exploring cities like Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Cordoba, as well as outdoor activities like hiking in the Andes Mountains and wine tasting in the wine regions.
• Summer (December to February) is the peak tourist season, especially in popular destinations like Patagonia and the Lake District. Expect warm temperatures, vibrant nightlife, and crowded beaches. It's ideal for outdoor activities like trekking and wildlife watching.
• Winter (June to August) is a great time to visit Northern Argentina, including regions like Salta and Jujuy, where the weather is milder and there's less rain. It's also the best time for skiing and snowboarding in the Andes Mountains near Bariloche and Mendoza.
