January in Argentina

Long days in Patagonia, green in the north-west and hot in the capital

This is the hottest and most humid time of year in north-east and central Argentina. The summertime humidity in Buenos Aires is unbearable so follow the porteños’ example and stay out of the capital if you can. Though the rainy season, green landscapes and sunny weather make this a popular time to go to Salta and the north-west. In Patagonia, this is one of the most popular months to visit. With long daylight hours you can spend all day hiking in El Chaltén, though always be prepared for strong winds and ‘four season in a day’ weather.
