Argentine Patagonia Trip: Untouched Adventure
An escape to Argentina’s remote southern wilds
Argentina’s glittering capital on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires hums with culture, creativity, and charisma. To get to know the city , you have to move at its rhythm—tango-fast, full of feeling, and open to a touch of improvisation to see where the day (or night) might lead.
When you travel to Buenos Aires with Extraordinary Journeys, our tours capture that same spirit—intimate, deeply personal, and always one of a kind. Like the tango itself, your itinerary unfolds with perfect cadence: a swirl of grand theaters, bohemian neighborhoods, and impromptu moments that will leave you breathless.
Key travel information for Buenos Aires
The best time to visit Buenos Aires
Travel to Buenos Aires is best planned for spring (September to November) or fall (April to June). Summer temperatures can get warm and humid, and there’s a possibility of afternoon thunderstorms. Winter ushers in milder temperatures, gusty winds, rain, and the occasional hard frost.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots. The city feels bustling but not overcrowded, and pleasant weather allows you to spend hours roaming the streets. Spring is especially lovely, as the city’s jacaranda trees create a violet canopy of blooming flowers.
