How To Spend a Honeymoon In Argentina

 Argentina is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, with a subtropical climate in the north and an icy polar region at the southern end in Patagonia, often referred to as ‘the end of the world’. Snow-capped mountains, vibrant cities and towns, and rolling vineyards are just a few of the multitude of landscapes that the huge country has to offer, each with a different array of experiences and sights that are perfect for exploring during a honeymoon in Argentina.

Argentina is famed for its decadent cuisine and fine wines as well as being the home of the tango, and also happens to be a perfect destination for a honeymoon. Whether you are looking for secluded beaches or a journey through glaciers, Argentina has it all. Argentina, while often overlooked, can provide the honeymoon you’ve dreamed of, and is an ideal place from which to celebrate tying the knot.

Where To Go During A Honeymoon in Argentina

Iguazu Falls

The Iguazu Falls separate Brazil and Argentina, with the falls found where the Iguazu River crashes over the ridge of the Paraná Plateau. Around 275 individual waterfalls create this magnificent spectacle that crashes through the luscious forest of the region, forming the largest waterfall in the world.

Seeing the biggest waterfall worldwide is definitely honeymoon worthy. Although the river runs predominantly through Brazil, 80% of the falls themselves are on the Argentinean side, making for a phenomenal sight. Watching the sun fall slowly behind the crashing white waters of the falls, hand in hand with your loved one, is a magical moment, and experiencing the magnitude of the famous falls up close is an experience well shared between newlyweds.

When to Honeymoon in Argentina

Depending on your desired itinerary, there are different seasons that affect the time to go to Argentina. For icy adventures, Patagonia is an excellent choice, and that is best enjoyed between December and March – this is when further inland locations such as Buenos Aires are particularly hot, so for those wanting city escapes, July and August is a cooler option. These are both peak seasons, so if you’re wanting a more gentle experience, explore the country off-season. While there are seasonal changes, Argentina is known to be a great place to visit year-round, but if there are specific activities you’re looking for, it’s best to plan your timing accordingly.

Is Argentina Safe?

Argentina is a very safe option; it is thought to be one of the safest Latin American countries for tourists. The majority of crimes committed in Argentina are in the form of pickpocketing and petty theft, particularly in tourist-populated areas, so keeping an eye on your belongings is something to be careful with, but apart from that, it is certainly safe in Argentina.
