Argentina Travel Tips
If you’re looking for Argentina travel tips, I’ve learned a few things from my visits that can help you plan better. Start with Buenos Aires—it’s best explored on foot, so bring comfortable shoes.
First, bring a mix of cash (USD) and cards, as cash often gets you better rates at “cambio” places. For getting around, long-distance buses are comfortable, but domestic flights save time if you’re short on days. In Buenos Aires, the SUBE card is essential for public transport. In restaurants, try local favorites like asado and empanadas, and don’t miss out on tasting Malbec wine.
When visiting Patagonia, especially El Calafate and Ushuaia, pack layers; the weather changes quickly. For Iguazu Falls, plan 2-3 days to explore both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. If you’re traveling in peak season, book accommodation and flights in advance.
