    Trip Reports What to add to Buenos Aires trip?

    I’ve been to Iguazu a couple times without a yellow fever vaccine. No one in either Brazil or Argentina asked me for it in either 2003 or 2018. I had no idea it was even recommended till I read this post. Don’t know how prevalent the risks are but it’s a very tropical area.

    Trip Reports What to add to Buenos Aires trip?

    Close to Bs. As. you might go to Tigre for a daytrip and take a water tour through the river delta - that was fun. There's a flea market there as well. Anything beyond that or Montevideo you're looking at flying, which adds costs and time. It's not like Europe where the next site is an easy...

    Newcomer Security in Buenos Aires

    Not if you move in tourist areas. It's good EU is not to be noticed going out with Rolex. I go 4 times a year. On average, nothing ever happened to me? I stay in safe neighborhoods and if I go out at night. I take cabs. Recoleta, San Nicolas, Puerto Madero, are usually safe.1

    Trip Reports Vivamos Buenos Aires - The best site to tour Argentina!

    Today I ate out at a restaurant recommended by the instagram account.... AMAZING! It took us a long time to get in because there were a lot of people waiting for the next time we will come back with a reservation! The food was very good and the place had an old 20th or 19th century ambiance.

    Legal Terror sequence for a family: a truck chased them and crashed into them in the middle of Route 7 after a traffic argument.

    These are unfortunate events that happen from time to time in Argentina. Normally nothing like that happens on the streets or roads!

    Food & Drink Cafe de Los Angelitos

    I went to eat at this place in the evening with my partner and it is something never seen before. I had never experienced what it was like to eat while a band or a tango show was playing. We ate very well and ended up falling in love with tango and now we listen to at least 1 song every day with...

    Trip Reports Temaiken Biopark

    As far as I understand, no. What I can recommend is to look for a date when there is a 50% discount and maybe that day's discount can be added. That's how I did it, I took advantage of the day that they gave a 50% discount.

Lots of shade to rest between sectors. The half-price ticket seemed good to me: 8000 and 7000 for my baby. I...

    Newcomer Booking Booking exchange rate

    Now using the Visa card, they convert the Argentine pesos at an exchange rate between the. MEP and Blue, which is better than the official one. And in the hotel the price published in dollars is converted to pesos with the official exchange rate. You are right that the cards charge a commission...
