Argentina’s vastness creates a climate as diverse as its landscapes. Summer in the Southern Hemisphere (November to March) is ideal for Patagonia’s glaciers and Andean treks, where long days reveal azure lakes and rugged peaks.

Buenos Aires brims with charm in spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when jacarandas bloom, and the city’s European elegance shines beneath temperate skies.

The arid north, with its ochre canyons and historic estancias, is best visited in Argentina’s winter (June to August), offering crisp days and brilliant light. If wine country beckons, Mendoza in autumn offers vineyards aflame with colour and the harvest in full swing.

Argentina’s sheer scale and imperfect connectivity mean it’s not a quick country to get around – but that’s all part of the charm. We can recommend the best ways to make the most of a week or ten days there; for a fuller experience, two weeks is ideal, or three weeks if you’d like to also venture further afield to another neighbouring country such as Chile or Brazil.

Argentina is generally a safe, welcoming country for tourists to visit. While opportunistic thefts and petty crime can occur, particularly in busy urban areas, a dash of common sense and a watchful eye go a long way – as in any city.

This shouldn’t put you off exploring Argentina by any means; millions of tourists flock to the country annually, and the majority do not experience any threats to their safety.

Combine Argentine Patagonia with Chile, traversing the Andes to explore Torres del Paine’s craggy majesty or Santiago’s thriving food scene; from the north, cross into Bolivia for the surreal Salar de Uyuni or follow the high-altitude wine trail to Chile’s Atacama Desert. Alternatively, for tropical intrigue, visit the Iguazú Falls alongside Brazil’s jungle-clad expanses or the legendary beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

From urban sophistication to untamed wilderness, Argentina’s magic lies in its kaleidoscopic diversity.

Buenos Aires enchants with its Parisian elegance, tango salons, and late-night cafés. Patagonia stuns with dramatic glaciers, cerulean lakes, and wind-sculpted steppes. The wine regions of Mendoza offer sybaritic pleasures of Malbec paired with Andean backdrops. Iguazú Falls roars with elemental power, its cascading waters a tropical counterpoint to the arid north’s ochre deserts and colonial towns. The Pampas, the heartland of gaucho culture, stretches endlessly, while Ushuaia beckons adventurers to the literal end of the world.

Often the country’s real magic is to be found in the lesser-known destinations, so please do talk to our travel designers about these.
