The honest answer is: yes. Much more than we usually imagine from the outside ✅
Argentina is one of the safest countries in South America for tourists.

Bariloche, Salta, Mendoza, Ushuaia, El Calafate, Puerto Iguazú… are destinations where the feeling of safety is very high 🏔️

Cities that will steal your heart: a journey to experience Argentina city by city
Traveling to Argentina is like opening a book where each page is a different landscape.
The country unfolds before you with such brutal diversity that it seems impossible for it all to exist on the same map. One day you walk under a dry sun that ignites the Cuyo desert, and the next you're standing before a glacier that roars as if it were breathing. You can sweat in the thick humidity of the jungle and then let the icy wind from the end of the world tousle your thoughts.
Argentina is not something you travel through: it's something you feel.
And the weather—or rather, the perceived temperature —is a fundamental part of that experience. It's not enough to just look at the forecast: you have to understand how the heat feels, how the cold bites, how the wind sounds.
This tour isn't just to inform you. It's so you can close your eyes and see yourself there.
Buenos Aires — where history begins
The capital welcomes you like a city that already existed in your memory. Its wide streets smell of freshly brewed coffee, old books, and clothes drying on antique balconies. You walk through San Telmo and hear the echo of footsteps on cobblestones; you walk through Palermo and are surrounded by the sweet scent of jacaranda trees in bloom; you walk through Recoleta and feel an elegance that floats in the air, as if the city were gently guiding you.
Feels like temperature:
☀️ Summer: 25°C to 40°C (and the humidity embraces you as if you were part of the river).
🍂 May: cool, friendly, almost cinematic (12°C–18°C).
Rosario — the city that breathes river
Rosario is that delightful blend of modernity, art, and youthful spirit. The moment you arrive, the Paraná River welcomes you with its gentle breeze, carrying the scent of water and promise. The riverside parks offer a natural respite, as if the city effortlessly embraces you.
Feels like temperature:
🌬️ Similar to Buenos Aires, but with that constant breeze that lowers the heat and caresses your face without asking permission.
Mendoza — land of golden light and deep wine
Mendoza is a warm whisper. It's a sun that beats down directly, casting sharp shadows across the mountain range. It's the immense silence of the mountains. It's that moment when you taste a wine and understand why it was born here.
Walking among vineyards as the wind rustles the leaves is almost meditative. Everything is bathed in golden light: the paths, the mountains, your own desire to stay a little longer.
Feels like temperature:
🔥 Summer: 30°C–40°C, dry, honest heat.
🍃 May: 15°C–25°C, mild, perfect for deep breathing.
Bariloche — postcards that become real
If there's one destination that stops you in your tracks, it's Bariloche. Everything seems clearer: the greens of the forest, the blues of the lakes, the white of the mountains. The air is cold and clean, the kind that enters your nostrils and awakens something inside you.
You walk along paths that smell of pine and damp wood. You sip hot chocolate at a café overlooking Lake Nahuel Huapi. You feel like you're in a movie where everything is in its place.
Feels like temperature:
❄️ Between 8°C and 20°C depending on the time of year.
🧣 In May the cold weather begins, calling for a scarf and a hug.
Iguazu — the jungle that beats
Iguazu Falls isn't something you see: it pierces you. The sound is a constant thunder, a wet roar that reaches your chest. The mist soaks your skin and the green envelops you from all sides. It's a living jungle, intense, hot, with thousands of butterflies that seem made for the landscape.
Feels like temperature:
🌡️ 30°C–38°C
💦 90% humidity (yes, you'll feel like the air is more liquid than gas).
Ushuaia — the end of the world, literally
Ushuaia is a poem of wind. It is cold sea, snow-capped mountains, and clouds that move so fast it seems as if the sky itself is in a hurry. It is walking and feeling the world expand. It is understanding why they say that here the landscapes are not just looked at: they are contemplated.
Feels like temperature:
🥶 5°C–15°C.
🌪️ And a climate that changes with its own humor, as if nature decided to rewrite the day every hour.
Ushuaia is a destination that leaves you thinking about everything that exists beyond what is known.
And what about traveling to Argentina in May? A hidden gem.
May is a well-kept secret.
A month where the weather feels pleasant, the cities breathe more calmly, the number of tourists decreases, and so do prices. Walks become longer, the sun gentler, the wind less harsh. It's perfect for leisurely exploration and falling in love without rushing.
