When To Go

The most important factor to consider when planning your trip is that the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are flipped – summer in North America is winter down below the equator, and vice-versa. Winter (mid-December through February) in the United States is summer in Argentina – and therefore, high season. That said, July is another peak period. You might also consider special events that affect availability on given weeks: two popular ones that tend to sell out hotel rooms are the Buenos Aires Tango Festival (www.festivaldetango.gov.ar) in February to early March and August's Tango World Championship (www.mundialdetango.gov.ar). For the best bang for your buck, visit in spring and fall for their mild temperateness and relative lack of crowds, although temperatures generally don't get extreme at any point in the year.
