Argentine Study Prices January Vacations: ARS 3.88 Million at Home, ARS 10.33 Million Abroad

UADE/INECO reports that the effort relative to average wages remains essentially unchanged from last summer.

Overview

  • Using the RIPTE average wage of ARS 1,627,212, domestic trips equal 2.38 monthly salaries and international travel 6.1.
  • Prices vary widely across Argentine destinations, with Cariló at ARS 10,665,172 versus Villa Gesell at ARS 2,188,670, roughly a fivefold gap.
  • Some foreign options undercut local spots, with Santiago de Chile estimated at ARS 3,277,739, cheaper than 13 of 25 domestic destinations.
  • Estimates cover transport and lodging for a family of two adults and two children in the second half of January 2026, excluding daily extras that raise totals.
  • UADE notes wages measured in official dollars are up nearly 50% over two years, improving access to some international trips but vulnerable to exchange-rate or inflation shifts.
