December in Argentina

Long days and lovely weather for Patagonia hikes

As summer begins, temperatures heat up considerably in northern and central Argentina. School holidays begin in mid-December so Argentines flock to Atlantic beaches and lakeside resorts around Bariloche and Cordoba. Despite its reputation for nightlife, Buenos Aires is relatively quiet around Christmas and New Year as locals celebrate with family or outside the capital. In southern Patagonia, the weather is mild and the days reach their longest, perfect for beautiful day hikes around El Chaltén or on a road trip down the Ruta 40. In Ushuaia, the skies are dark for only 2-3 hours at night.
