Argentina is located in the southern hemisphere, which reverses the seasons compared to Europe.
An overview of the Argentinian seasons:
Southern summer (December to March) : This period corresponds to summer in Argentina, with high temperatures in most regions. Buenos Aires and the northern provinces experience hot and sometimes humid summers, while Patagonia enjoys milder temperatures, ideal for exploring its magnificent landscapes.
Southern winter (June to September) : This brings cooler temperatures to the south and the Andes . Buenos Aires and the central regions remain pleasant, while Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego are cold and windy. Winter sports enthusiasts will appreciate the ski resorts of the Andes, for example in Bariloche .
In our experience, the best time to travel is from the end of October to March in Patagonia and year-round in northern Argentina . During this time, the climate in most regions is generally mild and dry.
Discover the natural and cultural wonders of Argentina throughout the year by adapting to the climatic characteristics of each region to fully enjoy your trip.
