Top Getaway Destinations in Argentina for Long Weekends

The warm weather invites you to enjoy outdoor activities. Regional festivals, gastronomy, adventures, landscapes, nature, fishing, and more. The 'Argentinian Nova Scotia', a riverside town, is ideal for relaxing, camping, and fishing among forests. For those not planning to go far, there are multiple options near Buenos Aires. Strolling through Puerto de Frutos, having mate by the river, and navigating it on excursions are some of the most beautiful activities El Tigre has to offer. It also features boutique accommodations, making it an ideal destination for romantic or family getaways. On the other hand, to the south of the city and a few kilometers from General Paz, Lobos offers artisanal wineries, country lodgings, and the imposing homonymous lake where water sports can be practiced. Just 100 kilometers away, it is a complete getaway combining local gastronomy and fresh air. The last long weekend of the year also invites those seeking total relaxation. For this, Carlos Keen, a few minutes from Luján, is the perfect destination to lunch in recycled old mansions, visit producer fairs, and enjoy the slow pace of the Buenos Aires countryside. With summer just around the corner, this long December weekend is an opportunity to recharge before the holidays, trying nearby destinations and feeling the vacation spirit. Island restaurants offer fresh fish and sunset drinks, a perfect postcard for those seeking nature without giving up comfort. Additionally, for those who prefer a greener and more relaxed environment, San Pedro is an excellent alternative. And, along with the four-day long weekend of November, from Friday the 21st to Monday the 24th, it is a preview of rest with nature and typical flavors less than two hours from the big city to take advantage of. Furthermore, in December the town adorns its streets and becomes an ideal point to disconnect without major transfers. Another perfect getaway is Tigre, less than an hour from the city center. This holiday will be the last of the year and also marks the beginning of the high season in many tourist destinations in the country. 170 kilometers from Buenos Aires, this riverside city combines orange groves, river beaches, and family-friendly grills. One of the classic destinations is San Antonio de Areco, just 113 kilometers from the Obelisk. The river and channels allow combining boat trips with gastronomy on the shores of the Delta. There, its pulperías, Argentine grills, and horseback riding offer an authentic rural experience. With 57 days left to finish 2025, people still have two long weekends ahead to take advantage of and plan short activities and trips that will allow them to rest by breaking the weekly work routine and plan the summer vacations of the upcoming 2025-2026 season. From Saturday the 6th to Monday the 8th of December will be a long weekend, as Monday will be a holiday due to the annual national celebration of the Day of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, one of the most anticipated holidays, ideal for those seeking to rest or take short-distance trips.
