Travel to Argentina

Argentine : When to go ?

Argentina is located in the southern hemisphere; consequently, the seasons are inverted in comparison with Europe. Our summer corresponds to winter and vice versa. Spring runs from late September to late December, summer until end of March, autumn until end June and winter runs from late June to late September. You can visit Argentina all year round, but depending on the regions, one season or another can make your stay more pleasant. Attention to the Semana Santa before Easter, holiday throughout Latin America. It is better to book early if you travel this week. Think of the religious processions of Tilcara in the Quebrada of Humahuaca (Northwest) that are spectacular during that week.In Mesopotamia and Misiones, rainfall is constant (more important from December to March), but summer is particularly hot. Winter (especially in July) is the best season to visit the Iguazú falls. It is also high season and rates are felt.In the Northwest, temperatures at more than 40 ° C, the summer may be daunting. The high season is in July. The wet season is between November and March (Andean Winter).Buenos Aires and La Pampa are shallow rainy and have a moderate climate (although humid in the capital and on the coast). The average temperature is appreciable, but the months of January or February may sometimes be unbearable due to humidity.As far as Patagonia is concerned, you will never lose heat! The ideal time to get there is the summer. You will enjoy warmer temperatures (sometimes 15 ° C) and long days, but you have to provide hot clothing because time changes very quickly and winds are mostly very violent. The month of January corresponds to the great Argentine holidays; if you go there, consider making your accommodation reservations (indispensable in Bariloche). If you want to go to Patagonia Atlantic, remember that Puerto Madryn whales are watching July in mid-December. The patagon winter is not as rigorous as one can imagine from Europe (relative to it!) and may be the opportunity to go skiing in the lakes region.

Argentine : Go with a local agency

Some exceptional landscapesThe vastness and beauty of the landscapes attracts more than one tourist in Argentina. The nature is superb, wild, indomptée... and diversified.A mosaic peopleAs the correct word says: Mexicans are descended from Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas and Argentins... from the boat. Nevertheless, métissage is fascinating. The country has a strong identity, and each has very diverse origins: historically Spanish, Amerindian and descendants of enslaved Africans, but also since the th century Italians, Syria, Lebanon, German, French, British, Polish, Russian or Asian.Good dearArgentina has a reputation to defend: that of the country where the best meat in the world is eaten, because the horse is high on large meadows. It's true that it's delicious, and that carnivores will give it to joy, de of lomo (very thick and tender net) or de of sausage (cuit cooked in its own fat). Not to mention good Argentinian wines! By organising your stay on-line with a local agency, you are sure to enjoy fine breakfasts in the country's best restaurants.The tangoThe pearl of the Río de la Plata! Obviously, it is one of Buenos Aires's tourist attractions. The tango will seduce you with its equivocal sensuality, its poignant pride, and its indissoluble melancholy, which is so characteristic of the Argentine people. By organizing your trip with a local agency, you can attend the finest tango shows in the country.Since the devaluation of the peso (or rather the end of parity with the dollar) in 2002, the country has become cheap, which has contributed to the influx of foreign tourists. Food in particular has become more accessible and a good bill. Generally speaking, however, there has been widespread practice of double pricing for Argentins and tourists, particularly in national parks or some superior-class hotels. Moreover, prices have increased significantly in recent years on tourist activities (excursions...), and inflation is a real scourge, of almost 30% per year.FormalitésIn order to return to Argentine territory, nationals of the European Community do not need a visa. You must present a valid passport (still valid for six months, at the date of travel) on your flight. A stay permit of up to three months will then be mentioned by a buffer on your passport (it is free).To renew your residence permit, it is much easier to leave the country to return again (a new buffer for three months). The most common is to return to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. If you visit the region of Mendoza, Patagonia or the Iguazú Falls, you will also have the opportunity to travel from the Chilean or Brazilian side. So far, the number of entries and exits of the country is not limited.

Spoken languages

Spanish, often called here castellano (Castilian), is the official language. Note: the accents are different from one region to another, especially between Mesopotamia (the North-East), Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza and the North-west (with a specificity for La Rioja!). Argentine, as it is designed abroad (use of: your own, che, and so-called'ch'votes) are actually particularly clean in Buenos Aires, even though many provinces have adopted it.English is increasingly spoken by tourist service providers (hotels, car rental agencies...), but there is still a long way to go.German can be an alternative in the south of the country along the Andes mountain region (Lakes region).You don't have to rely too much on French during your journey, even if it is always possible to meet an institution held by a compatriot, or if some students still break out of a small course in a French Alliance! On the other hand, you will soon realize that many people see this language (French) in a very good eye, which they consider to be one of the most beautiful in the world, with their most expensive wishes being to know Paris!

Currency

The official currency of the country is the Argentine peso, which is divided into 100 centavos (cents). The acronym for the Argentine peso is " $". No panic in front of the Argentine windows, it is not US dollars (note US $)! Notes of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos; 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos and 1 peso coins are currently in circulation. Beware! Counterfeit tickets are also part of the game.

Weather

Seven major climatic regions can be distinguished from north to south:The northwest, the warm climate in the valleys, and the Andean type on the heights: wet and warm in summer, from December to February, cooler but sunny from April to October. Average temperatures observed: 16,4 ° C in July, 26,8 ° C in January.The Great Chaco, which enjoys a forest in subtropical climate. Average temperatures observed: 15,7 ° C in July, 26,8 ° C in January.Mesopotamia (northeastern), the subtropical climate in its northern part, and more temperate to the south. Average temperatures observed: 15,8 ° C in July, 25,3 ° C in January.The Cuyo, in the region of Mendoza, along the Chilean border, the dry and temperate climate, ideal for wine activity. Average temperatures observed: 7,7 ° C in July, 23,1 ° C in January.The centre Sierras (Córdoba), the temperate and dry climate (much less than in the Cuyo, however). Average temperatures observed: 11,2 ° C in July, 23,9 ° C in January.La Pampa húmeda, in the greater Buenos Aires region, the temperate ocean-type climate, which has the most fertile land from all over the country. Average temperatures observed: 11 ° C in July, 24,4 ° C in January.Patagonia, in the colder climate of course, especially in the south (there are three main regions: Northern, Southern and Southern); wind is an enemy of every moment. Average temperatures observed: 1,4 ° C in July, 14,4 ° C in January.
