When to Go Information
Since Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, its seasons are the reverse of what you might be used to. Summer begins in December and ends in March, fall is roughly from April to June, and winter from then until November. Argentina is thus pleasant to visit during the northern hemisphere’s winter months if one is looking for a warm sunny respite from the cold. The Andean winter brings fantastic skiing conditions and the season lasts from mid June to the beginning of September. The whole of July is to be avoided in most of the country, as almost everything is booked solid for school winter holidays. Summer is the best time to visit Patagonia and the southern Andes, as the days are longer and the temperature more agreeable. If you wish to travel during the Argentine winter, Iguazu and the northwest district in general, make for a lovely visit as the rainy season will have just ended, and the heat subsided. The capital, Buenos Aires, is best visited during the mild seasons of spring and fall. Over the summer the heat can be stifling and the city clears out while people vacation, which depending on what you are looking for, could be either positive or negative.
