Carnival is a time of year when cities come alive with parades, groups, music, and events on the beach. During these festivities, many take the opportunity to escape and enjoy a 'mini-vacation' in different destinations. Some popular places that require a flight to get to are Salta and Jujuy, where the carnival in northern Argentina combines traditions of indigenous peoples, folk music, and vibrant colors. In these destinations, one can visit vineyards, wineries, enjoy the majestic Andes Mountains, and relax in a natural and festive atmosphere.
If the preference is to stay closer, places like Mar del Plata offer the possibility of enjoying its coast, exploring the Port, visiting iconic places like the Torreón del Monje or the Aquarium, and tasting local cuisine at the port and pedestrian street. On the other hand, Tandil, known for its mountainous landscapes and rich gastronomy, offers the chance to explore the Gualeguaychú river and enjoy its beaches, thus completing a unique and varied experience.
For those who prefer to drive and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city, destinations like Gualeguaychú, considered the epicenter of the national carnival, offer an unforgettable festive experience. Other places like Bariloche provide the opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy its landscapes, while in Mendoza one can enjoy wine and relaxation in a peaceful and natural environment.
The calendar of holidays and non-working days helps plan these getaways, highlighting the importance of knowing key dates to enjoy long weekends. Many people choose to travel during these periods to rest, enjoy, and disconnect from the routine. In 2025, the famous Gualeguaychú corsódromo promises spectacular parades with floats, groups, and an atmosphere full of festive energy, ideal for enjoying carnival in a unique and special way.
