When to Go:

The best time to visit Argentina is in our winter (their summer) months. Argentina has several climatic zones. In Buenos Aires it is hot and humid from mid-December to the end of February.  Outside this summer period, the climate is generally healthy and temperate.  Patagonia, the southern third of Argentina south of Bahia Blanca, is a rather dry region liable to strong winds throughout the year.  In terms of temperature and changeable weather, this area has a typical cool, temperate climate rather similar to that of the British Isles.  In the extreme south, summers are distinctly cool, both summer and winter temperatures being moderated by the proximity to the sea.
