Running in Argentina – Lace Up in the Land of Tango and Malbec

Welcome to Argentina, a country where running is infused with the vibrant spirit of tango and the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes. From the bustling streets of Buenos Aires to the rugged trails of Patagonia, Argentina offers a runner’s paradise filled with endless exploration and unforgettable experiences. Whether you seek the thrill of a running holiday, the rejuvenation of a retreat, or the focused training of a camp, Argentina has it all.

When To Run in Argentina

Argentina’s diverse climate and geography mean there’s an ideal time to run in every season. In the northern region, including Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls, autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) bring pleasant temperatures and colorful landscapes. The summer months (December to February) offer a vibrant energy but can be hot, while winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures.

For runners heading to the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, the summer months (December to February) provide the best conditions for trail running, with milder temperatures and longer daylight hours. However, spring and autumn can also offer stunning vistas and fewer crowds, making them great alternatives for adventurous runners.

The Must-Run Spots in Argentina

Discover the heartbeat of Buenos Aires by lacing up your running shoes and exploring the iconic Puerto Madero district or gliding along the vibrant paths of the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve. For trail running enthusiasts, the stunning landscapes of Bariloche in the Lake District offer a perfect blend of mountains, lakes, and forests. Lose yourself in the trails of Nahuel Huapi National Park or challenge yourself on the rugged paths of Mount Tronador.

Further south, in El Chalten, you’ll find the magnificent Los Glaciares National Park, where you can immerse yourself in awe-inspiring trails with views of the famous Fitz Roy Mountain. And let’s not forget about the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls, where you can combine the thrill of running with the thundering beauty of one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders.
