Overview
Argentina is a vast country where so much of the natural landscape is on a huge scale, ranging from sub-tropical jungle and desert canyons to frozen ice-caps. The tumultuous waterfalls cradled in rainforest at Iguazú are probably the most dramatic and awe-inspiring on the planet, attracting visitors from all over the world. No matter how you want to spend your time, a holiday to Argentina is an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the infinite skies, shimmering glaciers and horizon-bending pampas, this is the cradle of the tango and a producer of fine wines. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is one of Latin America’s most stylish; its people, cultured and welcoming. This heritage, forged by waves of immigrants (including Italians, English and Welsh), is unique.
Argentina’s tourist infrastructure is comprehensive: the accommodation, transport and excursions are of a high standard. There’s a well-organised network of national parks for adventure in the open air and the profusion of wildlife is striking – mammals, reptiles and birds abound in marshes, rainforest, windswept plains and along the Patagonian coast.

Where to go when - our guide to Argentina
The weather in Argentina is wide and varied
The vast, dramatic landscapes of Argentina range from steamy sub-tropical jungle and desert dunes to soaring ice-caps and thundering waterfalls. The whole country can be visited at any time of year, though there are seasonal weather variations and cultural events to take into account when planning your visit. Patagonia in the south has the most unpredictable climate, where you’ll likely experience all four seasons in a day. That said, December - February are the busiest, warmest and clearest months, with ideal conditions for outdoor explorations. In Spring (September - November) there are blooming wildflowers in the lake district and whales in the Valdes Peninsula, while autumn (March - May) offers spectacular fiery foliage in Patagonia, the pampas and Mendoza. The winter months Jun - Aug are ideal for skiing and snow sports in the lake district and Patagonia, while in Buenos Aires the streets come alive with dancing during the tango festival in August.
