Explore the natural wonders, history and culture of Argentina

Argentina: Has stunning natural wonders, with its capital exuding a European-flavored atmosphere and sophistication. Argentina tours are the perfect way to enjoy the countries colorful history and passionate culture.

Argentina was once one of the most expensive of the South American countries to travel, however since its economic collapse and currency devaluation, it has become one of the best spots to find a bargain on an Argentina Tour.

When to visit

The best time to take Argentina tours for residence from the Northern hemisphere depends on the region traveled. Generally for areas like the Moreno Glacier, an Argentina tour is best from December to February, the weather is milder and more services are available. Spring and Autumn are the best time to tour Buenos Aries (summer tends to be hot and humid). Take an Argentina tour through Mendoza, the Lake District and Cordoba in the fall, temperatures are comfortable and it’s far less crowded. The scenery is spectacular too, with colorful foliage, turning leaves of fiery reds and yellows.

A tour of Argentina’s northern province of Misiones (subtropical) is more pleasant in the winter or spring when the heat and humidity is lower. For skiers, the best season is from mid June to mid October with peak season between July and August.

Be advised Argentina tours are the most expensive during the months of January, February and July.

Argentina’s Weather

Argentina has a diverse climate that makes it an attractive destination for planning a tour, its subtropical north borders a humid and steamy center followed by a much cooler southern region. Things to be aware of when planning an Argentina tour are: (in summer months) erratic rainfall in the upper Andes can cause flash floods, searing heat and the Zonda, a dry hot wind. Rainfall in the lowlands diminishes in the west with minimal summer flooding common further east. Winter is considered the dry season.

Patagonian weather is also diverse and has its extremes throughout the year, moderately temperate in the northeast, glacial along the Andes to rather chilly in the south.
