The only issue I had was despite asking for a double bedroom, I was given a single bedroom. Other than that everything else was perfect. Thanks
What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Argentina
When is the most affordable time to visit Argentina?
Visit during March to May or September to November to get better deals throughout Argentina. Hotel prices drop and you'll see fewer tourists at popular spots like Perito Moreno Glacier and Iguazu Falls. Buenos Aires tends to be cheaper in winter (June to August) but keep in mind that Patagonia becomes harder to explore during these cold months. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Traveling in April meant great weather and better prices across the country."
Which regions in Argentina offer the best value for budget travelers?
Head to the northwest especially Salta and Jujuy provinces where your money goes further. Small cities like Cafayate Purmamarca and San Antonio de los Cobres let you experience local culture without spending much. Mendoza's wine country is another good choice with reasonably priced wine tours and places to stay. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "Northwest Argentina provided amazing landscapes and cultural experiences at very reasonable prices."
What type of accommodation is typically offered on budget tours in Argentina?
Most budget tours put you in 3-4 star hotels and hostels. You might stay at the Hotel de Los Andes in Salta or the Novotel on Corrientes 1334 in Buenos Aires. These places usually include breakfast and sit close to main attractions. One TourRadar traveler noted: "All but 2 hostels were excellent and provided great value for the experience."
How much should I budget for entrance fees to national parks and attractions?
National park fees usually run between 20-30 USD per park. Expect to pay about 30 USD for Iguazu National Park 22 USD for Perito Moreno Glacier National Park and 38 USD for Torres del Paine National Park. A TourRadar traveler noted: "While entrance fees weren't included they were reasonable considering the incredible experiences offered."
What's the average daily budget needed for meals not included in Argentina tours?
Set aside 30-40 USD per day for meals outside your tour package. Many cities offer good lunch deals called menu del día for 10-15 USD while dinner at regular restaurants costs 15-25 USD. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Local food options were plenty and affordable especially when eating at the traditional 'peñas' in Salta."
What are the typical transportation costs for budget tours in Argentina?
Long overnight bus trips between major cities cost between 50-100 USD if you choose cama (bed) service. Getting around within cities is cheap at about 0.50-1 USD per ride. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The overnight buses were surprisingly comfortable and helped save on accommodation costs."
