Argentina by campervan offers unparalleled freedom to explore its spectacular landscapes, from the Iguazu Falls to the glaciers of Patagonia. Discover three must-see itineraries adapted to different durations, combining legendary roads, breathtaking hikes, and authentic encounters in the heart of this fascinating country.
The Lakes of Patagonia (7 to 10 days)
This compact itinerary immerses you in the alpine landscapes of southern Argentina. From San Carlos de Bariloche, explore the famous Route of the 7 Lakes that connects Bariloche to San Martín de los Andes, offering panoramic views of forests and spectacular mountains. Travel the Circuito Chico, visit the Los Arrayanes National Park, and enjoy the many viewpoints. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate the accessible trails around Bariloche. This itinerary is perfectly suited for campervans, with quality sites and well-developed tourist infrastructure.
From Patagonia to the Glaciers (14 days)
This route combines the northern lakes with the glacial wonders of the south. Start from Buenos Aires, head to Bariloche to explore the lakes and hikes, then descend to El Calafate to discover the Perito Moreno Glacier. Continue to El Chaltén, an ideal base for legendary hikes to Laguna Torre and Laguna de Los Tres, with spectacular views of Mount Fitz Roy. This duration allows for complete immersion in Patagonia, with enough time for outdoor activities and campervan journeys without rushing.
The Comprehensive Argentina (21 days)
Travel through Argentina from north to south, exploring its most emblematic regions. Start with the Iguazu Falls, descend to Salta and Mendoza through the colorful landscapes of the north, then veer towards the lakes of Bariloche. Finish in Patagonia with El Calafate and El Chaltén, before heading to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego if time permits.

Renting a campervan in Argentina
When to go to Argentina in a campervan or van
Exploring Argentina in a campervan or van offers a unique freedom to discover its varied landscapes, from the tropical north to the windy steppes of Patagonia. The choice of period affects both the weather, the travel experience, and the rental and camping rates.
The best seasons for weather
The ideal period for traveling by van extends from March to November, outside the rainy season and extreme temperatures. In the northwest, around Salta and Jujuy, the months from April to June and September to October offer a dry and mild climate, perfect for traversing the Calchaquies valleys or the Quebrada de Humahuaca. In Patagonia, particularly around Bariloche or El Calafate, the austral summer (December to February) is the most favorable for exploring glaciers and lakes, although March and April offer exceptional autumn landscapes.
Seasonality and rental rates
Rental rates for campervans and vans are generally higher during the Argentine summer (December to February), a period of high tourist influx, especially around Mar del Plata or in the ski resorts of the Andes. Outside this period, particularly in autumn and spring, prices drop and the roads are less frequented, allowing you to fully enjoy the landscapes of the Pampas or the roads of Tierra del Fuego without the crowds or extra costs.

Traveling by campervan in Argentina: practical guide
Argentina offers an exceptional destination for campervan travelers, extending from the subtropical regions of the north to the temperate landscapes of the south. Before embarking on the discovery of this vast territory, it is essential to know the driving rules, accommodation options, and safety tips specific to the country.
Driving and regulations in Argentina
In Argentina, driving is on the right with overtaking on the left. Safety rules are strict: wearing a seatbelt is mandatory for all passengers, including children who must be secured in appropriate restraint devices. Traffic lights must remain on at all times, day and night. The use of a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless using a hands-free system. The blood alcohol limit is set at 0.05%.
Speed limits vary by area: highways allow a maximum speed of 120 km/h, while in cities like Buenos Aires or Mendoza, the limit is generally 60 km/h. On gravel roads, particularly common in rural areas of Patagonia or the northwest, it is recommended not to exceed 60 km/h due to the loose surface and rounded stones that can cause skidding.
Sleeping and connecting in Argentina
Argentina offers several options for campervan travelers. Paid campgrounds, available in major tourist regions like Patagonia and around Buenos Aires, offer more amenities and services. However, wild camping on public land remains a possibility in Argentina, unlike some European countries. Online resources like IOverlanders help locate camping spots and useful services scattered across the territory.
The choice of vehicle depends on your travel duration, budget, and number of travelers. A simple converted car is suitable for two people on a small budget, while a large campervan can accommodate up to six people seeking comfort. Be sure to pack the necessary equipment including cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, and a first aid kit, as well as essential tools and fluids for vehicle maintenance.
Local tips and safety
For an optimal experience in Argentina, plan your trip according to the seasons and regularly check the state of the roads and weather forecasts, especially before venturing into the remote regions of Patagonia or the northwest. Avoid driving at night as much as possible for safety reasons. Rescue services in Argentina do not always meet international standards, so it is wise to consult local residents and tour operators for reliable information on areas to traverse.
Check Facebook groups dedicated to vanlife in Argentina and testimonials from other travelers for detailed tips and travel inspiration. Ensure you have enough fuel and supplies, especially in the less populated regions of the center and south of the country. This careful preparation will allow you to fully enjoy the geographical and cultural diversity that Argentina has to offer.
Frequently Asked Questions in Argentina
What is the minimum age to rent a campervan in Argentina?
The minimum age required to rent a campervan in Argentina is generally 21 years, although some rental companies may require a minimum of 23 years depending on the vehicle category. It is recommended to check directly with your rental company, as conditions may vary from one company to another. Make sure to have your valid driver's license and passport when booking.
What are the traffic rules to follow in Argentina?
In Argentina, traffic is on the right, like in France. Speed limits are 40 to 60 km/h in urban areas, 100 km/h on provincial roads, and 130 km/h on highways. Seatbelt use is mandatory. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5%. Police checks are frequent, so it is essential to follow the rules and have your documents readily available.
What mandatory equipment must my campervan have?
Your campervan must be equipped with at least one fire extinguisher, two warning triangles, a first aid kit, a rigid towing bar, and a functioning handbrake. These items are essential for legally driving on Argentine roads. Check with your rental company that all these items are present before departing.
What is the minimum rental duration in Argentina?
The minimum rental duration is generally one week, but this may vary depending on the rental company. Some rental companies offer different conditions based on the season or type of vehicle. Contact us to know the available options and corresponding rates for your travel period.
How much does it cost to rent a campervan in Argentina?
Rental rates vary considerably depending on the duration, type of vehicle, and season. For example, a 32-day rental with zero deductible insurance may cost around 6,000 euros. Rates generally include 200 km per day. Camping prices range from free to 27 euros per night depending on the location and amenities offered.
Can I wild camp in Argentina?
In Argentina, there is no national legislation prohibiting wild camping on public land. However, some municipalities or specific locations may have local prohibitions. It is recommended to check with local authorities before setting up camp. Many paid campgrounds also offer services and amenities for optimal comfort.
What are the main risks to be aware of in Patagonia?
The wind in Patagonia is the main danger to consider. Gusts can be very strong and overturn campervans. It is advisable not to stop in excessively windy weather but to continue driving more slowly. Ensure that your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and regularly stock up on fuel, water, and food, as distances can be significant.

Booking a pick-up with a rooftop tent. A flawless experience from the first exchange with Cooldrive to the return of the vehicle, which allowed us to travel across Argentina just as we wanted: on an ADVENTURE!! This will remain an unforgettable trip. A big thank you for your valuable advice and your responsiveness. Rental company in Buenos Aires very professional and extremely kind.
The quality of the vehicle was limited, with basic comfort considering the excessive price. Good rating for customer relations, but there was a lack of verification of the rented vehicles.
Very good responsiveness to resolve an insurance issue.
Everything is great!
Reservation refusal with confusion in finding a solution.
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental needs to be made from France to Canada. Many questions, and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support to guide me in my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and a service that met our expectations. Nothing to complain about. Great!

Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
