Weekend Escapes
Day trips and weekends away — Tigre, Colonia, wine country, and the coast.
Tigre day trip from Buenos Aires: train, Delta boat and lunch
Tigre is an easy train trip from Buenos Aires, but the boat choice sets the pace: see the Delta from a short circuit or spend a longer day at an island jetty.
Colonia Day Trip from Buenos Aires: Ferry, Costs and Walking Route
The old town is ten minutes from the port, but two international check-ins make the ferry timetable as important as the crossing itself.
A Mendoza wine weekend from Buenos Aires
Two nights allow one generous winery day and time to enjoy Mendoza itself. The choice that shapes the weekend is which wine region you visit on Saturday.
Iguazú Falls from Buenos Aires: days, both sides and 2026 costs
A two-hour flight reaches Puerto Iguazú, but each side of the falls deserves its own day. Three nights leave time for Argentina's trails and Brazil's panorama.
Bariloche with children from Buenos Aires
A four-night family stay with room for Patagonian weather, lake outings and a realistic budget.
San Antonio de Areco day trip from Buenos Aires
A day in Areco can mean silver workshops and a gaucho museum or horses and a long estancia lunch. The journey home shapes the choice.
Day Trips from Buenos Aires: Trains, Delta, Countryside and Uruguay
A Delta boat, a fossil museum, a gaucho town or a ferry across the border: choose the outing that fits your family's time and appetite for travel.
A weekend in Mar del Plata from Buenos Aires
Two nights on the Atlantic coast, with a sensible journey, a walkable base and time for the fishing port.
A Córdoba weekend from Buenos Aires: city streets and one sierras day
A Saturday in Córdoba's historic centre and a Sunday in the hills make a satisfying two-night trip, provided you choose just one excursion.
Salta and northwest Argentina: a five-day trip guide
Cafayate and northern Jujuy pull in opposite directions from Salta. Five days, with nights away from the city, let you enjoy both routes.
Your First Patagonia Trip from Buenos Aires: Where to Go
Four days by Bariloche’s lakes or a week around Perito Moreno and Fitz Roy: the time you have decides the trip.
A Montevideo Weekend from Buenos Aires: Fares, Times and a Plan
The direct ferry buys more time in Montevideo; the Colonia connection and overnight coach trade hours for lower fares. Compare the three before planning two nights away.
Buenos Aires weather by month: what living here feels like
The monthly numbers, and what they mean for walks, homes and the school run in Buenos Aires.
Argentina public holidays 2026: dates and long weekends
