What to pack for three weeks in Argentina

We visited Argentina for three weeks in March and April, visiting Patagonia, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Iguazu Falls. 

This varied range of locations called for an eclectic packing list. But since we experienced all weather — from amazing sunshine and mild evenings to rain storms and snow — throughout our trip, I was glad to have all this with me!

If you’re only visiting cities you can skip the thermals and hiking shoes. If you know you won’t be going anywhere with a pool or a beach then you won’t need swimwear. But if you’re travelling the full length of the country then it’s best to be prepared with clothing for all seasons, no matter what time of year you’re visiting Argentina. 

You can also find my packing list for Patagonia and my packing list for Buenos Aires to help whittle down what you will or won’t need based on where you’re travelling to.
