WHAT IS THE PEAK SEASON IN TUCUMÁN?

As mentioned above, Tucumán can be traveled all year round. However, there are times that can be considered “high season” and other “low season”, according to the influx of tourists in the province.

If we talk about high season, it’s important to mention the following: Easter, winter holidays, end of February (month of the Pachamama National Festival), carnivals and other important national holidays.

However, there are travelers waiting for a holiday or season to vacation, but are looking (e.g.) for a better climate because months of spring usually receive a lot of tourists becoming also high season in this destination.

If we talk about months, September is the month of the year (excluding July because of winter holidays) that has the most tourism in the region. This due to the temperature being more pleasant at the end of winter and the rains of the wet season do not begin yet.

The suggestion if you plan to travel in high season is to book your accommodation in advance. Otherwise, you run the risk of not getting a place to stay, at least not the one you want! For this reason, we invite you to read our top 5 best hotels in Tucumán.

WHAT ARE THE SEASONS LIKE IN TUCUMÁN?

While Tucumán allows you to vacation all year round, there are important climatic variations between the seasons that we think you should consider when planning your trip to this destination. Each one has its charm, but we want to share important data so you can differentiate it and choose the one that best suits you. The best season to travel to Tucumán depends on your preferences as a traveler:

•         Spring

The rainy season begins. Rainy season: wet season. The temperatures are pleasant because winter is moving away, but the humidity of some regions such as San Miguel, Las Yungas or Tafí del Valle, makes the thermal sensation more intense.

We consider spring to be the best time to travel to Tucumán, precisely because the rains are just beginning and the temperature is rising little by little. That’s why September is considered the best month and is considered a High season as well.

•         Summer

The summers in Tucumán are hot and humid with the exception of the area of Amaicha and Ruinas de Quilmes where they are rather dry. High temperatures during a few hours of the day make –occasionally– some activities more complicated to perform. Therefore, it is recommended to start the day as early as possible to avoid hours of intense sunshine.

During summer the days are also longer and there are more hours of sunlight, which allows to take more and more advantage of each passing day. 

•         Winter

Winter is also one of the most recommended times to visit Tucumán for two reasons. Basically because: no rainfall is registered and the temperatures, despite being low, are not so extreme as to stop you from making the visits or excursions you want.

Additionally, excepting for winter holidays, this time of the year is considered a low season, so prices are more accessible with respect to, e.g., spring.

•         Autumn

Autumn is the least sought after season to visit Tucumán, as the rains and cooler weather are uncomfortable for many tourists. It’s precisely because of the small number of visitors that it’s considered the ideal time for those looking for economy and good prices or the possibility of touring the province quieter and without so much movement of people.

In conclusion, the best season to travel to Tucumán  is all year round. Thanks to the pleasant climate of the province, excursions are made in any season.
