Of course this depends on whether you’re learning Spanish, backpacking, digital nomading… but on average we believe 5-7 days is the right amount of time.
Lonely Planet forum suggest 5-10 days, TripAdvisor 3-10 days, Frommer’s suggest 5, but let’s now break down what we believe are the ideal stay lengths depending on your trip objective. We spent 21 days in Buenos Aires working as digital nomads so hopefully we can help you with your trip planning!
