We want to give you some valuable advice for your stay in Argentina to prepare you the best way possible and to avoid unexpected surprises.
Generally Argentina could be described as a safe country to travel. To travel on your own -also alone as a woman- or in a small group by modern overland bus, by plane or by rental car is no problem at all. Argentina also is a safe country concerning hygiene and health issues. No specific vaccinations are required to enter the country.
