Weather
Buenos Aires in May is late autumn: mild days and cool nights. Search captures for May averages cite highs around 17 C with roughly seven rain days across the month, so expect some wet spells during the Arminera 2027 run (18-20 May 2027).

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and greetings
Spanish is the working language across the La Rural halls. A handshake is standard on a first business meeting, while a single cheek kiss is common between people who already know each other. Most mining suppliers keep English-speaking technical staff for product discussions, but printed Spanish business cards still help.
Meeting and meal hours
Buenos Aires runs late by northern European standards: business lunches often start around 13:00 and dinners from 21:00. Plan stand appointments and evening hospitality around that rhythm, and expect short cafe meetings and long working lunches to be a normal way of opening a supplier conversation.
Currency, cards and cash
The Argentine peso is the local currency. Cards are widely accepted in hotels, larger restaurants and at the fairground, but taxi drivers and small vendors may prefer cash, and ATMs can run short. Check current exchange and payment rules before you travel and keep a small float of pesos for local transport.
Tipping
Around 10 percent is the customary restaurant tip in Buenos Aires, and taxi fares are usually rounded up rather than tipped. Airport and hotel porters are tipped per bag in small peso notes.
Dress and May weather
Business casual to business formal is the norm at Arminera, with a jacket and no tie common on the floor. May is late autumn in Buenos Aires: mild days, cool evenings and occasional rain, so bring a light jacket and a compact umbrella for the walk between La Rural halls.
Badge, hall and evening etiquette
Arminera is a trade-only event, so carry photo ID matching your registration badge and expect security screening at the La Rural entrances. Palermo is a walkable district by day; use licensed taxis or remis at night, and allow extra time for the EZE transfer during Buenos Aires rush hour.
