Tip
School vacations begin at Christmas
and continue through January. The
city is less crowded then and a few res-
taurants close.
The Buenos Aires winter is cool but relatively
mild, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
Heavy rainfall occurs during the winter months
and, although rare, snow is not unheard of.
The northeastern region, including Iguazú
Falls, is semi-tropical and humid all year long.
Temperatures are lowest in July and August.
Bariloche, a year-round resort destination, has
summer temperatures in the high 70s, while
winter temperatures are often in the 30s.
Patagonia is much colder and rainfall is
heavier. Winds, sometimes at gale force, are not
uncommon, and weather fluctuates greatly in a
24-hour period. Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, is
most popular in the summer when the tempera-
ture is often in the 50s.
