Argentina is a country of big cities, open landscapes and very different places to visit. A trip might include Buenos Aires, Mendoza or southern Patagonia. Because the country is so large, choosing the right places to visit will make a difference to your holiday.
Buenos Aires is a good place to start. You can explore its neighbourhoods, enjoy local food and learn about tango, which is closely linked with the city. Further north, Iguazú Falls is one of Argentina’s most impressive natural sights. The Mendoza region is known for vineyards and views of the Andes, while Patagonia draws visitors with its lakes, mountains and glaciers. Each region offers a different experience, and travelling between them can take time.
The best time to visit Argentina depends on where you are going. Seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the UK, and the weather can vary greatly between regions. You may need warm clothes for Patagonia even when other parts of the country feel mild. Whether you want a city break, a nature holiday or a longer trip through several regions, Argentina gives you plenty of choice. Plan your route carefully so you have time to enjoy each stop.
