With seasons opposite to ours, Argentina summer holidays might seem counterintuitive, given that this period marks the start of their winter season. However, avoiding the high season has its benefits and certain regions really come into their own during the colder months. Visit the majestic Iguacu Falls in cooler climes to avoid the scorching heat of summer and having to compete with throngs of tourists. The more temperate climate also lends itself to hiking through the Andes and during the depths of winter, skiing down the vertiginous mountainsides is a popular adventure activity. Winter sports are also available in the enchanting Patagonia region, with its turquoise-tinted glaciers and snow-dusted peaks, while the charming town of Bariloche (known for its alpine architectural style) makes the ideal cosy winter base for exploring the rest of the Lake District.

"Your team is outstanding. Henrietta had a few conversations with us, as to what we would like our trip to be, our preferences, abilities, etc. She then put together a trip that addressed every one of our wishes. We had a snowstorm in NY that delayed our first flight by 7 hours. Your team jumped into action and rescheduled connecting flights, booked a hotel room for the new schedule, and got us back on track within a day. This is my fourth important trip with Original Travel. Your attention to detail is what keeps us coming back. "

"Our Argentine experience was great, thank you for all your hard work. Buenos Aires was an amazing city, we had a wonderful guide and the Tango, I know a bit of a tourist trap, but it was terrific. We were most impressed by the level of professionalism. Both hotels were perfect. Glacier was also simply perfect. "

Argentinian winters are normally fairly mild and brief, and with temperatures rarely dropping below 14°C in some parts, even sun-seekers will be seduced by Argentina summer holidays. If you’re looking to avoid chillier weather, the Iguacu Falls region remains pleasant and seeing the thundering cascades in relative solitude is a bucket-list topping experience. While temperatures in Buenos Aires can drop in the evenings, blue skies prevail during the daytime and the capital’s lively avenues can be discovered alongside an expert guide. Keen oenophiles (wine lovers) can travel to the wine region of Mendoza during autumn to see the vineyards turning vibrant shades of ochre, copper and gold.


Snow bunnies also benefit from Argentina summer holidays, given that this time of year brings sprinklings of snow to the towering Andean peaks and mountains of the Lake District. Grab your skis or snowboard and head for the powder-heavy slopes of Cerro Castor or Las Leñas. This winter wonderland also offers the chance to cosy up in front of a fire with a hot chocolate in hand, in the Alpine-style town of Bariloche. Often likened to an Argentinian Switzerland, the town’s culture also contains many Swiss elements and has been christened ‘the chocolate capital of Argentina’.
