Why Argentina?
Firstly, there is no need to waste time, nerves and finances on applying for a visa, because, since 2015, visa-free entry for up to 90 days is valid, so you can escape from the cold winter for all three months. When crossing the border, it is enough to show a passport, a return ticket and preferably confirmation of housing. Make sure to check your passport expiry date, which must be at least 6 months at the time of entry into the country.
Secondly, in December, real summer begins in Argentina and the average air temperature will be around + 30 ° C, and the water warms up to + 25 ° C. In January, it can be a little rainy, but, in general, the climate is very favorable for wintering.
The third reason is the variety of experiences. When you have already made yourself at home in Buenos Aires and admired its architecture and bright street art, it's time to go to the natural attractions of Argentina - the Perito Moreno Glacier in famous Patagonia, to the Iguazu Falls or to the ends of the world in Ushuaia.
