Argentina is a large country placed in 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 whatever you like including things like skiing, hiking and horse riding. Whatever you choose, it’s going to be an adventure for sure.
Before you start planning your trip you first need to decide what you would 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.
Warmer or colder weather?
The first thing, after you decide where you are going, is to see what the weather is like. As I said before, Argentina is a very big country so it’s difficult to say what the weather is like in Argentina because it’s different in different parts of the country. But I will tell you approximately what you can expect and in what time of the year.
One thing that you maybe didn’t know is that Argentine is placed in the Southern Hemisphere and by that it has reversed seasons. That means when it’s snowing in the US, in Argentina it is summer. The weather varies around the country especially because of the Andes. You can find in Argentina everything, from subtropical in the north to cold in the south. The only place where the weather is really unpredictable is the Andes. You can find rainfall and floods but you can also find extreme heat or even snow. There is also a unique hot and dry wind called Zonda.
Argentina is a beautiful country and you can visit it during the whole year. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the far south. Is extremely cold and unpleasant there and most attractions and hotels are closed in that area during the winter.
The seasons with most attractions are winter and summer, but at the same time they can be not so pleasant (too hot summer). Patagonia is a story for itself. Most of the year is very mild on the east and glacial on the south. But the weather there is very unpredictable and it can change drastically.
The important things you should remember – summer lasts from December-March, the winter lasts from June-July. The best weather is in March, April, September, October and November.
