When to go…

Summer: December - February
World-class chefs and DJs arrive for a season of glamorous parties in coastal hotspots such as José Ignacio and Punta del Este. High demand means top-tier accommodation and restaurants book up months in advance. Beyond the glamerous party scene, summer is wonderful for families and couples, with a diverse range of activities suited to all ages.
Autumn: March - May
Settled weather and mild temperatures. The best time for wine lovers; vineyards are in full harvest March-April. At the coast, the ocean remains warm enough for swimming well into March but the summer crowds have departed, leaving a tranquil, sophisticated vibe.
Winter: June - August
Cooler, shorter days, often with crisp blue skies, though rain is more frequent. The ideal season for ‘slow travel’, focusing on cosy estancia stays and traditional gaucho culture.
Spring: September - November
The rolling hills of the interior become lush and green. A mix of sunshine and fresh breezes make this a fantastic time for exploring by bike. The peak time for nature enthusiasts, as southern right whales can be spotted along the Atlantic coast.
