Whether you’re backpacking on a budget from hostel-to-hostel or looking for a luxurious getaway, get lost in our Argentina travel guide. We aim to provide all the tips and recommendations that you need for an inspiring trip.

There’s so much to do and see — Argentina is your oyster. From skiing and hiking in the mountains, to the late-night Buenos Aires party scene, and from wine tours in Mendoza, to riding with the Gauchos across the Pampas, there’s something for everyone.

WHERE TO STAY IN MENDOZA

We’re just weeks away from the perfect moment to visit Mendoza: vendimia. Harvest time is the busiest in the province, and offers up the most fun, too. The vines have kept to their side of the bargain and it’s the turn of grape pickers, agronomists and oenologists to get the latest vintages rolling. You don’t have to be a wine fan to enjoy Argentina’s second-most visited region – though it helps. This TRA accommodation guide will help you choose where to stay in Mendoza’s glorious countryside complete with obligatory Andes panorama.
