ARGENTINA FISHING

Argentina, located in South America, is a must-visit fishing destination for hardcore anglers. Here, you'll find Jurassic-size rainbows and world-record golden dorado. Argentina’s seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring weather begins in September. The warmest summer months are January, February, and March. April is considered early fall. All international flights to Argentina arrive at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires.

New Requirement as of 2025: Argentina requires foreign visitors to carry travel medical insurance for the duration of their stay. Travelers should carry proof of coverage, as it may be requested by the airline or upon entry, and airlines may deny boarding without it. Coverage should include emergency medical care, hospitalization, and evacuation/repatriation.

Carry-On Restrictions: For domestic flights in Argentina or international flights departing Argentina, you must pack all rods, reels, lures, lines, and flies in your suitcase (checked luggage). Most often, you are not allowed to carry on these items, so plan ahead.
