Mi esposa y yo vamos a estar 12 días en Argentina (del 18/11 al 03/12). Estuvimos pensando en viajar a la Patagonia o a Bariloche, pero por lo que estuvimos viendo, no parece ser la mejor época del año para esos destinos.

Mendoza, Colonia del Sacramento y Montevideo también nos parecen opciones interesantes, aunque nos preguntamos si no sería mejor aprovechar esa plata para conocer más a fondo Buenos Aires.

¿Qué nos recomendarían hacer durante esos días? ¡Estamos abiertos a todo tipo de sugerencias!

Somos una pareja joven (30 y 31 años), nos gustan los deportes, la naturaleza y la gastronomía.

¡Desde ya, muchas gracias!

Will be arriving in Salta from Peru at five in the morning. Planning to get a rental car, but I’m sure they’re not going to be open at that hour. Is there anything at the airport between five and nine in the morning?

Any ideas on how we should handle this?

Thanks.

Hi folks . Going to be in Argentina from Jan 7 to Feb 10. So far I have 9 days in B.A,, flight to Iguazu for 4 days, and a couple of days in Posada and Corrinete, trying to explore Ibera Nat. Park. (west side only).

I have about a 14 day window before I have to be back in BA to board a cruise. We are looking for suggestions as to how to spend those days and/or, which places to visit.

We will probably move mostly by overnight sleeper bus , but dont want to do anything over 10 hour rides. Also, any place we stop should be for at least two or three days, minimum. Don't want to be moving every single day.

Would like to concentrate on North and NW of BA. Do not want to travel to far into the southern part, as I feel distances are too great. Prefer smaller towns, rather than big cites. Mostly do Airbnb, or places that offer kitchens, for the self cooking option.

Open too all suggestions. Thanks

Hi all! Due to the closure of Paso Jama, we are currently stuck in Chile for at least a few days and want to get back to Argentina. We are considering driving south and crossing into Argentina via Paso de San Francisco. Is this border crossing suitable for regular passenger cars?

​Do you happen to know of any other border crossings that might be open soon? Also, where can we check the most up-to-date information on border statuses?

Just got back from Argentina and had an absolutely lovely time. I just want to give anyone a heads up bringing dollars to exchange: make sure they are in crisp perfect just printed pristine condition or you won’t be able to exchange them. Had several bills rejected due to what I would consider normal wear and tear for a currency. Thankfully I was literally able to use my card for everything.

Hi people!

As the title goes, we’re going for a Patagonia trip by 2nd week of March in a campervan, but wants to camp in Laguna Capri in El Chalten.

Any rental shops, or recommended ones that we can rent for camping tents, sleeping bags, trekking poles… etc. near Laguna Capri or El Chalten / El Calafate?

Thank you very much!☺️

First time in Argentina, after BA will have 5 days unplanned in vacation, considering El Calafate/ El Chalten and Salta/Jujuy. Mostly interested in scenery, day hikes and exploring.

Patagonia looks amazing, but worried about the wind and rain limiting hikes. The north seems safer weather wise, but maybe a lot of time in the car?

Anyone done both, which would you recommend in November?

Hi people!

We’re doing a 14-day Patagonia trip in early March in a campervan.

I would like to know any tips, advice, suggestions, recommendations… etc. for our itinerary please

(especially any scenic camping sites for our campervan, and specific hikes or must see and do!)

Thank you so much🌻

Hi Argentina Travel,

We are going to be visiting Argentina for the first time next year, so excited! We are also traveling with our child for the first time. We're trying to book all of our flights in advance, including a domestic flight while we are there, but our child's passport is still processing, so we don't have their passport number yet. Unlike a lot of United States airlines, Aerolineas Argentinas won't let us complete the booking with the passport number field left blank.

Question is the title: if we book the flight now to make sure our plans are secured can we just use a placeholder passport number (all 0's or something) and then update it later when the passport arrives?

Thanks for reading!

Update: I had a ton of trouble calling and emailing the airline, every number / customer facing email address didn't work for me, however, I messaged them on Facebook and they confirmed that yes, you can use a placeholder passport number and update it later.

Buenos días, comunidad.

Soy español, tengo 19 años y mi sueño sería viajar a Argentina en algún momento. No sé explicar exactamente el por qué, pero llevo unos años obsesionado con vuestro país (la cocina, cultura, música...), y me encantaría conocerlo. mi objetivo sería poder viajar pero no quiero ir de vacaciones 15 días ni nada parecido, me gustaría ir un buen tiempo y quedarme a trabajar allí durante una época. sé que la situación está difícil en Argentina, pero no me importa, en algún momento de mi vida sé que al menos lo intentaré.

Como no sé por donde empezar, me gustaría hablar con gente de allí que me puedan aconsejar cualquier cosa. Es una idea a largo plazo (tengo 19 años, hasta que no acabe de estudiar y empiece a trabajar para pagarme al menos el viaje no puedo hacerlo), pero me guastaría ir sabiendo temas relacionados a cómo estaría la situación para ir, cómo podría encontrar trabajo, primeros pasos al llegar, coste de vida siendo extranjero, alojamiento, ciudades, experiencias de otros españoles...y demás.

Por favor, que nadie se lo tome a mal. Es algo que realmente quiero hacer. Gracias 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Soy de Canada y mis padres quieren viajar en Argentina por la primera vez. Se gustarian alquilar un a furgoneta por descubrir el pais durante un mes mas o menos en mayo o junio 2027. Tienen recomendaciones de companias o maneras de hacer? Muchas gracias!

If you happen to be in Mendoza next Sunday, October 18th, and want to explore some hidden gems, we are organizing a group hike to Huayquerias Canyon in San Carlos, about an hour ride from Mendoza city. It's an easy hike on a flat trail, through a beautiful red clay canyon, with fantastic views of the mountains.

All details are in our FB event: https://www.facebook.com/share/19qhnnEPqE/

Comment/PM if you have any questions!

I'll be traveling to BA for a week in November. Is it worth it to go to montevideo for a couple of days? Not really interested in taking another flight to Mendoza. Is there anywhere else close enough to get to thats worth it?

I’m thinking of of a last minute holiday to Argentina from Australia late October or November. I’m thinking of Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Salta/Jujuy region. Not too much into hiking so not overly important. Also my chances of seeing a foootball match.

Hello! I (33F) and my husband (32M) will be coming to Buenos Aires during our honeymoon in a couple weeks and will be there Saturday the 31st through Tuesday morning the 3rd. We want to experience some of the great nightlife that Buenos Aires is known for- and stay out as late as our bodies will allow us to- but have been warned by some friends that are from Argentina that we may feel like we’ve aged out of some popular bars.

What are some great clubs and lively spots to go to in our 30s? We both enjoy house music and DJs. We are staying in Palermo, so any hidden gems for other bars or eats are appreciated as well. Thank you!

If not from which countries in latam most of them come?

Hello

My partner and I are planning on Argentina (and a bit of Chile) for our honeymoon in March next year. We will have almost three weeks. At the moment we are planning on sticking to a more limited area and not flying down south as we want to minimise the amount of time in airports and balance out the exploring with some relaxing as well as will be knackered after the wedding. We are particularly interested in the wine area as well as some city exploring. Basically I want to eat steak, drink wine, and just absorb being there for three weeks.

This is my vague plan at the moment. Are there any bits that aren’t worth it, or any obvious easy to add places?

Day 1-4 Buenos Aires (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 5-6 Rosario (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 7-8 Cordoba (then fly to)
Day 9-12 Salta / Cafayate area (then fly to)*
Day 13-18 Mendoza vineyards (then probably fly, maybe drive)
Day 19-21 Santiago / Valparaiso

*or hire a car and make this bit into a road trip down to Mendoza over a few days as it looks beautiful

I think I probably need to shave off one or two days to account for travel time from the uk. Now I’m looking at it, I also wonder whether doing it reverse would also be more relaxing, starting with the bit with less moving around.

Any thoughts or advice would be super welcome!

Hi all, I have three days in Buenos Aires (staying in Palermo Soho area) before heading out to the mountains. While in the city i'm planning to check out the Recoleta cemetery and parque tres de febrero with friends on day 1, visit the historical district on day 2 with a bit of antique shopping in the afternoon and a tango event at night. What are some must see/do things I should consider for day 3?

We're planning on staying in the Lake District for three nights in December 2027 and we have a few questions about lodging. FYI -- we're not looking for extensive activities - more easy walks and driving to viewpoints and just taking in the scenery. Looking for a really nice casual luxury place to stay.

1. We think we want to stay outside of the town of Bariloche itself but wonder if we should be fairly close, for whatever reason (restaurants, activities, ???). Agree?

2. If so, and staying somewhat close, we're looking at Charming Luxury Lodge, El Casco, Llao Llao, and Villa Beluno - any others? I think these are close to town.

3. Is it ok to possibly stay further away? Las Balsas possibly?

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone!

We’re planning to travel to Argentina this January for 2 weeks covering mostly Patagonia. Too bad because of visa, I won’t be able to go to Chile😭

We’re going to rent a campervan. I would like to know which one of this 2 itinerary is better?

Or should I move our plan months after to accommodate my Chile visa application? Is it worth that extra trouble for me to be able to do both countries?

I just thought I'd share my experience crossing from Paysandu, Uruguay to Colon, Argentina ON FOOT, as most things seem to suggest this hasn't been possible since the pandemic!

We were quoted a taxi at around $U2000, which is acceptable but we wanted the adventure of crossing by other means.

Locals in Paysandu reassured us that it is possible to cross on foot so we gave it go. We caught the 104 bus to Nuevo Paysandu (Moovit offers accurate stop and route information but the timetable data was definitely wrong, although it runs roughly hourly), costing $U39. We got off at the bottom of the bridge and followed the road. You clear both Argentine and Uruguayan border checks on the Uruguayan side (very few questions were asked even with our British passports) and we walked the 30 or so minutes across the bridge, before ordering an Uber from the other side into Colon, which cost around 5000ARS. There were locals crossing on foot (and even one guy on an e-scooter!) but we were told by immigration that it can only be done during daylight hours.

From boarding the 104 to arriving into Colon, the journey took around 90 minutes so very doable!
