April
The forests of the Lake District start changing from verdant green to fiery
reds, yellows and oranges. Patagonia is clearing out but you might get
lucky with decent hiking weather. Buenos Aires heads into low season,
with still-pleasant temperatures.
Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente
Independent film buffs shouldn't miss this festival in BA, which screens more than 100
films from Argentina and Uruguay.
May
It's late autumn and Buenos Aires is cool as the rains die back. It's a good
time to visit Iguazú Falls. The crowds also leave Mendoza - though its
vineyards are still a gorgeous red from autumn leaves.
Día de Virgen de Luján
On May 8 thousands of devout believers make a 65km pilgrimage to the pampas town of
Luján in honor of the Virgin Mary. Other pilgrimages take place in early October, early
August, late September and on December 8.
June
Winter begins in Argentina. Services at the beach resorts and in Patagonia
begin to dwindle, but it's an ideal time to visit the deserts of the Andean
Northwest and the Iguazú Falls, which have less rain and heat at this time
of year.
Fiesta de la Noche Más Larga
Ushuaia celebrates the longest night of the year with two weeks' worth of music and
shows.
