Impressions from Argentina – a foretaste of your rental car trip

The journey begins with the anticipation.

The pictures and impressions from Argentina show that Argentina has a lot to offer. Especially in a variety of completely different landscapes. It goes from the subtropics in the northeast with the spectaculous Iguazú Waterfalls through the steppe of Patagonia to almost down to the Antarctic. Below you will already find some impressions from Argentina. This will prepare you for your adventure trip through this beautiful country. This gives you a real desire to reserve a 4 × 4 rental car in good time to experience everything yourself.

Because it is really worthwhile to drive the huge Argentina in your own rental car. This is much better than hopping from city to city by plane. You will experience much more and you can also take great vacation photos as a souvenir for your home. Take your time, at least a couple of weeks. Do not forget that Argentina has the size of almost all Western Europe and the distance from north to south is the same as crossing the US from east to west.

We already wish you a good trip and an eventful stay in Argentina.

Weather in Argentina – you should pay attention

Traveling through Argentina with a rental car, so it is also important to pay attention to the weather. Because not only the distances in Argentina are extreme, but also the weather changes. Particular attention should be paid to rapidly growing “Tormentas” with storm-like rainfall within a short time and the associated street floods. Therefore you should bring yourself and the rental car to safety in good time. As if out of nowhere, there can be heavy hailstorms with fist-sized pieces of hail, especially in midsummer. After all, these hailstones can smash an entire car. That’s why you should always look for a protective shelter in good time before hailstorms begin.

Before planning a day trip, you should look at the weather forecast. In principle, the national weather service, the Servicio Nacional Meteorógico, is responsible, which issues weather forecasts for the entire country.

Argentine summer is high season for international tourism

Most international tourist, mainly from Europe and North America are visiting Argentina during the South American summer time between November – March. With the exception of the deep south of Patagonia very good, hot and sunny weather conditions dominate. Of course you should bring with you some warm clothing for the high altitudes of the Andes.
