La Rioja Travel Guide
Argentina
La Rioja is a city of 162,620 people in north-western Argentina and the capital of La Rioja Province. It is an inland destination rather than a coastal resort, with a generally dry climate, warm summers and mild winters.
Travellers arriving by air use La Rioja Airport (IRJ), which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so visits here are better suited to exploring the city and the surrounding inland landscape than planning a beach trip.
