Hi Emily!!

I'd definitely go to Salta or Jujuy. I�ve been there as a kid and really liked it.
In the summer, you�ll have the chance to see the carnivals! They are full of colors!!

Hope you enjoy it too, Emily!

Hi,
I have been in Salta and Jujuy in May and local people told me that's really hot in summer 40�C, but scenery is spectacular!!!! Take your time to visit Purmamarca, Tilcara, Humahuaca and Cachi, Iruya, Cafayate in Salta... you'll have a great time!!!

I really want to hit up some beaches this summer in Argentina. I've heard that you have to book NOW, though, if you want anything in the next 6 months

Any suggestions on not-ridiculous places to go???

Thanks!

thanks guys for the great responses. im getting very excited! how did you guys travel???

carlam,
i think it depends who you are going with and what type of vacation. I have been to a few beaches on the coast of Argentina. I went to Mar de Plata with friends and San Bernardo/Pinamar with my boyfriend. Mar de Plata and Pinamar were very busy, Pinamar being much more pretty, but if you are looking for relaxing and not such a huge nightlife, San Bernardo and that area is pretty cute.

I highly recommend the two sites mentioned above. La Cumbrecita is a typical German aldea, and Salta...well, what can I say of Salta la linda!

Nadia D · 10-25-2007, 08:37 AM

Yes, Sabrina! Besides La Cumbrecita, there's another German-like village in C�rdoba called Villa General Belgrano... so cute!! Check it out when you have the chance...

I've never been to Salta and Jujuy. My parents were there on December, 30 years ago and they will never forget that it was 50+ degrees C. They had 1st degree burns and everything.

If you really want to enjoy the North of Argentina (and take advantange of the low season rates), go there from April to June.

:-D
