Argentina is a very interesting destination that is unique in a number of ways. A number of factors need to be considered when planning a trip to Argentina. This section can help you be prepared for your upcoming vacation.

When to Go
The seasons in Argentina are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Buenos Aires is mild in the fall (March-May) and spring (September-November), and relatively hot in the summer (December-February). Patagonia is considerably colder than Buenos Aires, so the warmest time to visit the region is between the months of November and March.
