Argentina's northwest is mostly high desert, and thus mild and arid. It can get very hot in summer (December to March). The best seasons are spring (September to November) and fall (March to May).
Aerolineas Argentinas, the country's national airline, flies direct from New York and Miami to Buenos Aires, where there are several daily flights to both Salta and Mendoza.
