Argentine November Long‑Weekend Trip Costs ARS 1.16 Million for a Family, UADE Study Finds

Affordability relative to wages is essentially unchanged from 2024 after adjusting for inflation.

Overview

  • The estimated outlay equals about 74% of an average salary, based on RIPTE.
  • Ineco’s travel‑power index shows a 1.6% real year‑over‑year easing in the average cost.
  • Price differences are driven mainly by lodging rather than transport, with Cariló near ARS 2.02 million versus Gualeguaychú around ARS 535,735.
  • The calculation covers a two‑night trip by long‑distance bus with lodging for an INDEC family of four and excludes meals, activities and other spending.
  • Private data from Despegar show searches for the Nov 21–24 break up roughly 65% year on year, indicating resilient interest in short domestic trips.
