Where to stay in Argentina

Hotels

In major cities like Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Córdoba, visitors will find international hotel chains, stylish boutique hotels, and aparthotels, which are popular for longer stays.

In rural areas and natural regions like Patagonia and the Lake District, cosy lodges, estancias (ranches), and eco-lodges offer a more immersive experience. Staying at an estancia allows visitors to experience traditional gaucho culture, with activities such as horseback riding, asado (barbecue) feasts, and even cattle driving. Eco-lodges near the Iguazu Falls or in remote parts of Patagonia provide an opportunity to connect with nature, often with a focus on sustainability.

Bed and breakfast

Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) are popular in tourist areas such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and the Lake District.

Camping

Argentina boasts a wide range of campsites, from basic sites with minimal facilities to well-equipped campgrounds offering electricity, showers, and even organised activities like hiking tours and water sports.

Patagonia, the Lake District, and areas around the Iguazu Falls have some of the best camping spots, often with spectacular views and direct access to nature trails.

Wild camping is generally not allowed in Argentina, especially in national parks and protected areas. However, in remote regions, it may be tolerated if campers obtain permission from local authorities or landowners, and practice leave-no-trace principles.

Other accomodation

Argentina also offers vineyard stays in Mendoza, where guests can sleep among the vines, enjoy wine tastings, and indulge in gourmet dining. In Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, visitors can find lodges with panoramic views over the Beagle Channel, providing a memorable base for exploring Tierra del Fuego.
