Considering a honeymoon in Argentina? Here are my top recommendations for honeymoon destinations in this incredible South American country.
If you’re planning a honeymoon in Argentina, you’re in for something special.
Few countries can match Argentina’s diversity. One week you can be sipping Malbec among Mendoza’s vineyards, the next hiking beneath Patagonia’s snow-capped peaks, spotting penguins on the coast, or sharing a late-night steak dinner in Buenos Aires.
After living in Argentina and travelling extensively around the country, I genuinely think it’s one of the world’s most underrated honeymoon destinations. Whether you’re looking for luxury lodges, boutique wineries, outdoor adventures or a mix of city life and spectacular scenery, Argentina offers experiences that are hard to find anywhere else.
In this guide, I’ve rounded up the most romantic destinations in Argentina, from wine country and Patagonia to colonial towns and remote wilderness areas. You’ll also find my recommendations for where to stay, when to visit and how to choose the destinations that best suit your travel style.

Is Argentina good for a honeymoon?
Yes, Argentina is an excellent honeymoon destination, especially for couples who want more than just a beach holiday.
One of the things that makes Argentina so special is its diversity. In a single trip, you can explore vibrant cities, drink world-class wine, hike through spectacular mountain scenery, spot incredible wildlife and stay in luxury hotels and lodges. Few countries offer such a wide variety of experiences.
Having lived in Argentina for two years, I think it’s one of the most underrated honeymoon destinations in the world. The landscapes are breathtaking, the food and wine are exceptional, and there’s a sense of romance woven throughout the culture. You’ll find plenty of unforgettable honeymoon experiences in Argentina.

Fun story: after we got married in October 2014, my husband and I wanted to honeymoon in Argentina. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough vacation time and the trip from Papua New Guinea (where we were living at the time) to Argentina was around 30 hours, which would have eaten into the precious few days that I did have left.
Instead of an Argentina honeymoon, we went closer to home, settling on Thailand. After all, you can’t go wrong with a beach honeymoon and we had a wonderful time.
It was on that honeymoon, while we were sitting on the beach in Thailand, that I got a call from my boss telling me where my next assignment would be. And wouldn’t you know it, I was being sent to Argentina.
So, while we didn’t get an Argentina honeymoon, we did end up living there and exploring much of the country.
The most romantic spots to honeymoon in Argentina
Here are my recommendations for honeymoon destinations in Argentina. I’ve also included suggestions on things to do in each location (based on my own experiences) and some special hotels to consider booking.
1. Buenos Aires
Best for: Couples who love food, culture, nightlife and romantic city breaks
Best time to honeymoon: March-May, September-November
The so-called Paris of South America, Buenos Aires has to be one of the most romantic cities in the world.
Wander the streets, be awestruck by the stunning architecture, then get caught up in a passionate tango show or take a tango lesson.
Have a picnic underneath an ornate statue in one of the city’s many lush parks. Book a night out at the opera or ballet at the exquisite Teatro Colón.
With 8 restaurants on Latin America’s Best Restaurants list, you can share many romantic dinners in Buenos Aires. I’ve got several fine dining options in my Buenos Aires food guide.
Loving the food in Argentina? Why not try a cooking class (designed by a Michelin chef) to learn how to make empanadas and dulce de leche yourself.
Romantic hotels in Buenos Aires
Here are my picks for the most romantic hotels for a honeymoon in Buenos Aires. I also have a more detailed guide on where to stay in Buenos Aires which includes an overview of the best neighbourhoods.
In the heart of the upscale Recoleta neighbourhood, the Palacio Duhau is grandeur at its best. Chandeliers adorn the ceilings, marble tiles cover the floors and plush beds greet newlyweds on their honeymoon. There are plenty of cosy nooks to grab a glass of wine together.
The Faena Hotel Buenos Aires is like no other hotel in Buenos Aires. Located in Puerto Madero in a restored silo that once produced grain for post-war Europe, its décor screams glamour. Red velvet curtains, eclectic artworks and dark wood create spaces that are intimate, romantic and quirky.

2. Mendoza
Best for: Wine lovers seeking luxury hotels, vineyard stays and long leisurely lunches
Best time to honeymoon: September-April
One of the best honeymoon spots in Argentina is Mendoza. Argentina’s most famous wine-producing region, many of its wineries are located in the shadow of the Andes mountains, which makes for a picturesque backdrop to any wine tasting.
There are three wine regions in Mendoza: Maipu, the closest to Mendoza city and therefore the easiest to visit, Lujan de Cuyo (my favourite area) and the Uco Valley, which is further away but has the most stunning views.
For your honeymoon I recommend hiring a private driver. They can recommend the best wineries to visit in Mendoza and organise everything for you so all you need to do is turn up and grab your tasting glass. This private wine tour will take you to three wineries in the stunning Uco Valley, with a gourmet lunch included. Or consider a multi-day luxury Mendoza tour that will cover all your honeymoon details.
If you’d like to get a bit more active, then consider a bike tour of the wineries. We loved hiring e-bikes from Baccus Biking and then making our way around a few Mendoza wineries.
After all that wine tasting on your Mendoza honeymoon, head to the thermal hot springs spa outside of the city for some pampering.

Mendoza honeymoon hotels
Mendoza is one of the most perfect destinations for a honeymoon in Argentina, and here are some incredible Mendoza hotels. I recommend spending at least 3 days in Mendoza to explore a few of the different wine regions.
Casa de Uco Vineyard & Wine Resort is seemingly an extension of the stunning landscape that surrounds the hotel. Neutral colours, natural wood, thick columns and huge glass ceilings are designed to blend into the nearby mountains and vineyards. Dishes served are created with ingredients from the hotel’s seasonal garden.
Imagine waking up, stepping out onto your private terrace and finding yourself surrounded by views of the snowcapped Andes and Malbec vineyards. The Vines Resort & Spa is regularly ranked in the top 10 best hotels in Latin America. There are only 33 villas, some with a private pool. Siete Fuegos is Francis Mallmann’s onsite restaurant.
3. Iguazú Falls
Best for: Unforgettable natural scenery and bucket-list honeymoon experiences
Best time to honeymoon: April-September
If you’re looking for a honeymoon experience that’s guaranteed to leave both of you speechless, Iguazú Falls delivers.
Made up of nearly 300 waterfalls spread across the border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazú is one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop talking, put away your phone and simply take it all in together.
Spend a day exploring the network of catwalks that weave through the national park. The Upper Circuit is fairly short and offers incredible views from above the waterfalls, while the longer Lower Circuit brings you closer to the action. From here, adventurous couples can hop aboard a boat that races beneath the falls. You’ll get absolutely drenched, but it’s a fun and memorable experience you’ll be talking about long after your honeymoon is over.
The highlight of any visit is Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), a 70-metre-deep chasm reached via a 1-kilometre-long catwalk. Standing together at the edge as thousands of litres of water thunder into the gorge below is an experience that’s hard to forget.
For an extra-romantic experience, try to time your visit with the full moon. A special moonlight tour allows visitors to see the falls illuminated by moonlight, creating a completely different atmosphere from the daytime experience and making one of Argentina’s most romantic destinations feel even more magical.
Romantic hotels in Puerto Iguazú
Here are some recommendations for hotels in Puerto Iguazú (the closest town in Argentina to the waterfalls). For honeymooners, I recommend staying at least two nights so you can experience the falls at a relaxed pace and enjoy one sunrise or sunset in the national park area.
If you want to be located only a stone’s throw from the falls, then choose Gran Melia Iguazú. From the hotel you can easily walk down to the series of catwalks that crisscross through the falls. The hotel pool is a great spot for a cocktail at sunset, with toucans flying overhead.
For a luxury honeymoon Argentina, book Awasi Iguazú. The rainforest surrounds each villa, so you’ll fall asleep and wake up to the tranquil sounds of wildlife. Villas have private decks and plunge pools and spacious living areas decorated with traditional textiles and baskets woven by the indigenous Guarani people. Villas have a private guide and 4WD vehicle so you can explore the area at your own pace.
Another jungle boutique hotel, Puerto Bemberg is surrounded by trails, trees and jungle flora and fauna. Each room’s large windows offer jungle views and the hotel can arrange all types of excursions and activities.

4. El Calafate
Best for: Couples seeking breathtaking scenery, luxury lodges and one of Patagonia’s most iconic experiences
Best time to honeymoon: November-March
If you’ve ever dreamed of standing in front of a towering glacier, add El Calafate to your Argentina honeymoon itinerary.
This charming Patagonian town sits on the shores of Lago Argentino and serves as the gateway to Los Glaciares National Park, home to the spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier. Here, you can witness enormous chunks of ice crashing into the water below – a truly unforgettable sight.
One of the best things about El Calafate is that you don’t need to be an experienced hiker to enjoy Patagonia’s incredible landscapes. Well-maintained boardwalks provide stunning views of the glacier from multiple angles, while boat cruises get you even closer to the immense ice walls.
For a honeymoon-worthy adventure, book a glacier trekking excursion and spend the day walking across the ancient ice itself. It’s a unique experience that few places in the world can offer and one you’ll be talking about long after your trip ends.
Back in town, you’ll find cosy restaurants serving Patagonian lamb, boutique hotels with lake views and plenty of opportunities to slow down and soak up the scenery. El Calafate also pairs perfectly with nearby El Chaltén if you want to combine glacier views with a few days of hiking and outdoor adventure.

Romantic hotels in El Calafate
El Calafate has great options for a honeymoon stay. Plan to spend two nights here.
Set right on the shores of Lago Argentino, Xelena Hotel & Suites combines spectacular lake views with a spa, indoor pool and spacious rooms. It’s perfect for couples who want to balance Patagonia’s adventures with a little luxury and relaxation.
After a day spent marvelling at Perito Moreno Glacier, return to Calafate Parque Hotel to unwind in the spa, sauna or hot tub. With its cosy Patagonian atmosphere, comfortable rooms and excellent location just a few blocks from El Calafate’s main street, it’s an ideal base for couples.
5. El Chaltén
Best for: Adventurous couples who’d rather spend their honeymoon hiking than sitting by a pool
Best time to honeymoon: November-March
For couples who believe the best memories are made outdoors, it’s hard to beat a Patagonia honeymoon.
Nestled beneath the jagged peaks of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, El Chaltén is Argentina’s trekking capital and one of the most spectacular places in Patagonia. Days here are spent exploring some of South America’s most beautiful trails, with hikes leading to turquoise lakes, glaciers and mountain viewpoints that feel almost unreal.
While hiking is the main reason to visit, there’s more to El Chaltén than its famous trails. Adventurous couples can also go mountain biking, horseback riding or white-water rafting before returning to town to relax with a local craft beer and a hearty Patagonian meal. For such a small town, El Chaltén has a surprisingly good food and craft beer scene.
What makes El Chaltén particularly special for a honeymoon is the sense of escape. Surrounded by mountains and nature, it’s the perfect place to disconnect from the world and spend quality time together.
I also recommend combining El Chaltén with nearby El Calafate. Since you’ll most likely fly into El Calafate anyway, spend a few extra days there to visit the spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier. You can admire the glacier from the boardwalks or, for a truly unforgettable honeymoon experience, trek across the ancient ice itself.
→ READ NEXT: The best hikes in El Chaltén
Romantic hotels in El Chaltén
Here are my picks for hotels in El Chaltén, both of which are great for people who love hiking. You could easily spend 2-4 nights here.
Destino Sur Hotel de Montaña & Spa is located close to the trails, so you’ll beat the morning hiking crowds. This mountain lodge has spacious rooms with plush beds, and you’ll be thankful for the sauna after a long day of hiking. Massages are also available in the hotel spa.
If you’re looking for a unique experience on your honeymoon, then Patagonia Eco Domes is the choice for you. These spacious, padded domes have amazing views of the surrounding mountains, all of which can be seen through the transparent “windows”.
6. Bariloche
Best for: Couples wanting alpine scenery, boutique lodges and outdoor adventures
Best time to honeymoon: December-March
With its alpine-style architecture, sparkling lakes and snow-capped mountain backdrop, Bariloche feels like something straight out of a European honeymoon destination – except it’s in the heart of Argentine Patagonia.
Days here can be as active or relaxed as you like. Stroll hand in hand through the town centre, stopping for artisanal chocolates and ice cream (Bariloche is known as Argentina’s chocolate capital), or simply find a lakeside café and soak up the views.
For a romantic day trip, rent a car and drive the famous Ruta de los Siete Lagos, one of the most scenic drives in Argentina. The route winds past turquoise lakes, forests and mountain peaks, with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos, short walks and leisurely lunches. You can also visit nearby El Bolsón, a charming town known for its craft beer, artisan markets and local cheeses.
Couples who enjoy the outdoors will find plenty to do in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina’s oldest national park. Hiking, kayaking, cycling and boat trips are all popular ways to experience the region’s stunning landscapes.
What makes Bariloche particularly appealing for a honeymoon is its combination of adventure and comfort. You can spend the morning exploring Patagonia’s wilderness and the evening enjoying fine dining, lake views and a cosy boutique hotel.
→ READ NEXT: How to visit the Ruta de los Siete Lagos
Romantic hotels in Bariloche
Spend anywhere between 2-4 nights in Bariloche. Here are two suggested hotels in Bariloche to consider for your honeymoon.
One of South America’s most famous hotels, Llao Llao has hosted many famous guests. The dramatic scenery over the Moreno and Nahuel Huapi lakes and the nearby mountains make for a stunning location. Rooms are decorated in the warm style of a mountain lodge. While there are more than 200 rooms, staff make every guest feel special. The hotel also has an 18-hole golf course.
Wake up to a view of sparkling Nahuel Huapi lake from your comfortable bed at Las Balsas, located near the charming town of Villa La Angostura. The blue façade of the hotel has become its trademark, and it houses rooms that feel more homely than hotel. The wine cellar holds more than 150 bottles of Argentine wines, and the heated indoor/outdoor pool and jacuzzi and sauna can be enjoyed year-round.
7. Tierra del Fuego
Best for: Couples seeking remote wilderness, wildlife and end-of-the-world adventure
Best time to honeymoon: November-March
There’s something undeniably romantic about starting married life at the southernmost tip of South America.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, glaciers, forests and the icy waters of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego feel wonderfully remote. The dramatic scenery and sense of isolation create the perfect setting for couples looking to escape the crowds and experience a different side of Patagonia.
Spend your days exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park, where hiking trails wind through forests, along lakeshores and past sweeping mountain vistas. Wildlife-loving couples can cruise the Beagle Channel to spot sea lions, penguins and seabirds while taking in the spectacular scenery that has drawn explorers to this part of the world for centuries.
One of the things I love most about Ushuaia is the contrast between adventure and comfort. After a day outdoors, return to town for a memorable dinner featuring Patagonian lamb, fresh seafood and the region’s famous centolla (king crab), paired with a glass of Argentine wine.
For couples looking for a honeymoon destination that’s a little different from the usual beach resorts and tropical islands, it’s hard to beat the feeling of standing together at the end of the world.
→ READ NEXT: The best things to do in Ushuaia, the End of the World
Where to stay in Ushuaia
Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa is a luxury hotel with breathtaking views of the Beagle Channel and Ushuaia Bay. Nothing could beat a sunset dip in the outdoor hot tubs.
Set right on the shores of the Beagle Channel, Los Cauquenes Resort & Spa offers a more intimate alternative to Ushuaia’s larger resorts. Wake up to views across the water toward the Chilean mountains, relax in the spa after a day exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park and enjoy dinner overlooking the channel.
8. Salta and northern Argentina
Best for: Couples who enjoy wine, dramatic landscapes, road trips and getting off the typical tourist trail
Best time to honeymoon: April-November
If I were planning an Argentina honeymoon today, I’d seriously consider spending it in the country’s north. It’s my favourite part of Argentina and one of the most underrated regions in South America.
Northern Argentina has a completely different feel to Patagonia and Buenos Aires. Here you’ll find dramatic desert landscapes, colourful mountains, charming colonial towns and winding roads that seem to disappear into the horizon. It’s the perfect destination for couples who love the freedom of a road trip and discovering places that many international visitors never make it to.
Base yourself in the beautiful city of Salta before exploring the surrounding region. Head north to Purmamarca to see the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colours), which glows in shades of pink, red, orange and green, especially around sunrise and sunset. Nearby Tilcara is another worthwhile stop, with artisan markets, fascinating Indigenous history and the impressive Pucará de Tilcara archaeological site.
No visit to northern Argentina is complete without spending a few days in Cafayate, the country’s second major wine region. Surrounded by vineyards and red-rock landscapes, it’s a more relaxed and less crowded alternative to Mendoza. Spend your days visiting wineries, sampling the region’s signature Torrontés wine and lingering over long lunches with mountain views.
This region takes a little more effort to reach, but the reward is one of the most unique and memorable honeymoon experiences in Argentina. If you’re considering visiting, I’ve put together a detailed northern Argentina road trip itinerary covering exactly how to plan your trip.
→ READ NEXT: How to plan a road trip through north Argentina
Romantic hotels in north Argentina
There are some gorgeous hotels in the north of Argentina. The options I’ve listed here cover a few different towns.
In the city of Salta, capital of the province of the same name, you’ll find Hotel Legado Mítico, a delightful townhouse filled with leather armchairs, cowhide rugs and antiques. This cozy hotel epitomises stereotypical northwest Argentina, but in a sophisticated way.
Set among the vineyards just a few minutes outside the wine town of Cafayate, Grace Cafayate is a chill hotel to hang out in after a long day of wine tasting. The rooms have huge bathtubs and great views over the vineyards.
Located at the foothills of the Cerro de los Siete Colores, El Manantial del Silencio is designed like an old estancia. Designed for a luxury Argentina honeymoon, rooms are decked out with wrought-iron beds and terracotta tiled-floors. It’s simple, elegant and comfortable and the reading room is perfect for a newlywed couple to curl up together with a glass of wine.
9. San Antonio de Areco
Best for: Couples who want a peaceful countryside escape with gaucho traditions, colonial charm and a slower pace
Best time to honeymoon: March-May, September-November
If your idea of a perfect honeymoon involves slowing down and escaping the crowds, spend a few days at an estancia near San Antonio de Areco. While this is one of the best day trips from Buenos Aires, a few nights here is super relaxing.
Just a short drive from Buenos Aires, this region is the heart of Argentina’s gaucho country. Here, life moves at a gentler pace. Days are spent horseback riding across rolling grasslands, relaxing by the pool, enjoying long lunches paired with Argentine wine and watching spectacular sunsets over the pampas.
Many estancias near Buenos Aires offer an all-inclusive experience, with comfortable rooms, home-cooked meals and activities such as horse riding, carriage rides and gaucho demonstrations. It’s an opportunity to experience a side of Argentina that many visitors never see while enjoying plenty of quality time together.
When you’re ready to venture beyond the estancia, explore the charming town of San Antonio de Areco. Known for its gaucho heritage, artisan workshops and handcrafted leather goods, it’s one of the most traditional towns in Argentina.
For couples looking to balance adventure-filled destinations like Patagonia with a few days of relaxation, an estancia stay near San Antonio de Areco makes a wonderfully romantic addition to an Argentina honeymoon.
→ READ NEXT: The best estancias near Buenos Aires
Romantic hotels in San Antonio de Areco
Argentina is well known for its estancias, the local version of ranches. They’re lovely to stay at for a night or two.
One of the oldest estancias in Argentina, La Bamba de Areco offers guests an insight into country life in Argentina. Each room is named after a famous polo horse and has lovely views over the outdoor gardens, park or polo fields. Meals are communal and taken in a different part of the estancia. Spend a few days on horseback rides or mountain bikes, enjoy the huge swimming pool, wander through the gardens or book a hot stone massage.
Relaxation is on the cards at Pampas de Areco Hotel & Spa. This adults-only hotel has divine spa treatments, beautiful pools and on-site restaurants. Rooms are generously sized, with deep bathtubs. The perfect countryside spot for romance.
10. Iberá Wetlands
Best for: Wildlife lovers looking for a peaceful and secluded honeymoon experience
Best time to honeymoon: April-October
If your idea of romance is escaping into nature together, few places in Argentina can rival the Iberá Wetlands.
One of South America’s largest protected areas, Iberá is often compared to Brazil’s Pantanal but attracts far fewer visitors. Vast wetlands, lagoons and grasslands provide a sanctuary for an incredible variety of wildlife, making it one of Argentina’s premier nature destinations.
Spend your days exploring by boat, horseback or on guided wildlife safaris, keeping an eye out for capybaras, caimans, marsh deer, black howler monkeys and hundreds of bird species. The wetlands have also become an important conservation success story, with species such as the giant anteater and jaguar being reintroduced to the region.
What makes Iberá particularly appealing for a honeymoon is its sense of peace and remoteness. Rather than rushing between attractions, you’ll spend your days immersed in nature, enjoying spectacular sunsets, wildlife encounters and the slower pace of life that makes this corner of Argentina so special.
Romantic hotels in Esteros del Iberá
For a remote area, the hotels in Esteros del Iberá are rather luxurious. Here are a few recommendations.
Rincon del Socorro is a rural lodge developed as part of a conservation project. It’s in a restored old cattle ranch and has kept the Spanish colonial rural style architecture while modernising the interior. While the style is simple, the service is not: here you’ll be treated like royalty and have access to expert nature guides who lead safaris during the day and night, bike rides, horse rides and nature walks.
Estancia Iberá is ideal for couples looking to combine wildlife encounters with an authentic estancia experience. Set on the shores of Laguna Iberá near Colonia Carlos Pellegrini, this beautifully restored ranch offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by wetlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife. Spend your days exploring by boat, horseback or kayak before returning to enjoy sunset views over the lagoon.
Best Argentina honeymoon itinerary
So, now that you know what the most romantic destinations are, how should you combine them in an itinerary?
Argentina is huge, so you’ll need to choose a handful of destinations rather than trying to see everything in one trip. Most couples combine Buenos Aires with one or two additional regions, such as Mendoza and Patagonia, or Iguazú Falls and Salta.
Some examples could include:
- Classic honeymoon: Buenos Aires + Mendoza + El Calafate
- Adventure honeymoon: El Calafate + El Chaltén + Ushuaia
- Wine and culture honeymoon: Buenos Aires + Mendoza + Salta
- Off-the-beaten-path honeymoon: Salta + Cafayate + Iberá
I’ve also got several recommended itineraries that you can easily adapt for a honeymoon trip:
Best time for a honeymoon in Argentina
One of the best things about planning a honeymoon in Argentina is that there’s no single “best” time to visit. Because the country stretches from the subtropical north all the way down to Patagonia, the ideal time depends on where you want to go.
For most couples, the sweet spots are spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). These shoulder seasons generally bring pleasant weather, fewer crowds and excellent conditions for exploring much of the country.
If Patagonia is high on your honeymoon wish list, plan your trip between November and March. This is when hiking trails, boat excursions and tourist services are fully operational, and you’ll have the best chance of enjoying Patagonia’s spectacular landscapes.
For wine tasting in Mendoza, spring and autumn are particularly lovely. March and April coincide with the grape harvest season, while the spring months bring mild temperatures and vineyard views without the summer heat.
Northern Argentina, including Salta, Jujuy and Cafayate, is best visited from April to November, when the weather is generally dry and comfortable for road trips and outdoor exploration.
Buenos Aires can be visited year-round. Many travellers find October-November and March-April the most pleasant months, with warm days that are perfect for wandering neighbourhoods, dining outdoors and enjoying the city’s vibrant café culture.
If your dream honeymoon includes Iguazú Falls, you can visit at any time of year. The falls are most impressive after periods of rain, while the cooler months between April and September tend to be more comfortable for walking around the national park.
Final thoughts: Argentina honeymoon
Argentina is one of the best honeymoon destinations in South America, if not the world. You can have any kind of honeymoon experience you want, surrounded by natural beauty and amazing food and wine, with gorgeous hotels and resorts to choose from.
If you’re planning a honeymoon in Argentina, I hope you have a wonderful, romantic time!
Honeymoon in Argentina: FAQs
Is Argentina safe to visit for tourists?
Argentina is safe for tourists, but like any travel destination, it’s wise to stay alert. Keep an eye on your belongings, be cautious in crowded places, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Make sure you purchase travel insurance.
Is Argentina a good honeymoon destination?
Yes, Argentina is an excellent honeymoon destination for couples who want a mix of adventure, culture, food and spectacular scenery. You can spend your honeymoon wine tasting in Mendoza, hiking in Patagonia, exploring the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires or marvelling at Iguazú Falls. Few countries offer such a diverse range of experiences in a single trip.
How many days do you need for a honeymoon in Argentina?
For a first-time visit, I recommend spending at least 10 to 14 days in Argentina. This gives you enough time to experience two or three regions without constantly moving around. If you have three weeks, you can combine destinations such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Patagonia and Iguazú Falls for a more comprehensive honeymoon.
What’s the most romantic place in Argentina?
That depends on your travel style. Mendoza is ideal for wine lovers and luxury stays, Patagonia offers dramatic mountain scenery and adventure, while Buenos Aires combines world-class dining, tango and culture. For a truly unforgettable natural setting, it’s hard to beat Iguazú Falls.
What is the best time of year for a honeymoon in Argentina?
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are generally the best times for an Argentina honeymoon. These seasons offer pleasant temperatures across much of the country and fewer crowds than peak summer. If Patagonia is a priority, plan your trip between November and March when hiking trails and tourist services are fully open.
How much does an Argentina honeymoon cost?
Argentina can suit a wide range of budgets. Mid-range couples can enjoy a comfortable honeymoon for less than many destinations in Europe or North America, while luxury travellers will find high-end wineries, boutique hotels and exclusive lodges throughout the country. Costs vary depending on the season, destinations visited and standard of accommodation.
Should we visit Mendoza or Patagonia on our honeymoon?
If you love wine, food and luxury accommodation, choose Mendoza. If you’re drawn to mountains, glaciers and outdoor adventure, Patagonia is the better choice. If your budget and schedule allow, combining both destinations creates an incredible honeymoon that showcases two very different sides of Argentina.
Can we combine Argentina and Chile on a honeymoon?
Absolutely. Many couples combine Argentina and Chile, particularly when visiting Patagonia. Popular combinations include Buenos Aires and Santiago, Mendoza and Chile’s wine regions, or Argentine Patagonia with Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. If you have at least two weeks, combining both countries can make for an unforgettable South American honeymoon.
