Whales arrive to Patagonia's coast

From now until November, this is an excellent time to see Southern Right whales along the Valdés Peninsula. Give it another couple of months and there'll be plenty of wildlife activity and plenty of chances to get out walking and exploring. Around Iberá and Iguazú this is a relatively dry month and daytime temperatures inch back up. Around Salta and the north-west, the climate remains cool and dry but allow plenty of time for any cross-border trips as there may be snow in the highest parts of the Altiplano. This is the best month to visit the main ski resorts around Mendoza and Bariloche, with good quality snow and fewer crowds.
