Best Time to Travel

Although the most populated areas are generally temperate throughout the whole year, Argentina has exceptional climate diversity; ranging from tropical in the north to sub-polar in the far continental south.

Due to the size of the country, the seasons in the southern hemisphere are the opposite to those on the northern side. Argentina is a year-round destination with two high seasons: the summer months from December-February and then from July-August for the traveller seeking ski and winter activities.
