The best time to visit Argentina is in March or November. These months lie in the shoulder season and offer the best weather to experience the country’s highlights.
The months from March to November bring summer and the edges of spring and fall. These months are great for visiting destinations in the central or northern regions of Argentina, such as Puerto Iguazu or Mendoza. The cooler weather makes the climate more pleasant and there is less rain, especially in the tropical climate of Puerto Iguazu.
The summer months of December, January and February are also great for visiting destinations in Patagonia, such as Bariloche, El Calafate and Ushuaia. The weather is fantastic and offers great summer activities, such as hiking, cycling and kayaking. In July, Bariloche becomes a winter wonderland that is great for skiing or snowboarding.

Argentina is very safe for tourists. Smaller cities on the Pampas, in Patagonia, and along the foothills of the Andes are welcoming and offer visitors unique perspectives on the culture, history and heritage of the nation. Buenos Aires acts as a microcosm of the country and offers a safe and vibrant ambiance for locals and visitors. As in any capital city, there are neighborhoods in Buenos Aires that can seem uncertain. On a trip with Zicasso, a traveler will never visit districts where incidents have occurred. As with many large cities, petty theft or questionable cab drivers can be an issue. By keeping your possessions close and making sure you use government taxis or booked car services your safety is in hand.
