Baboo CertifiedGood to know
Some tips to visit Argentina:
*Your guide will meet you at the airport to give you a kind welcome and help you with any doubts you may have about the trip.
*Once you get into the hotel in Buenos Aires you will find a file with all your vouchers and documents for the trip.
*The local official currency is the Peso Argentino. You can change your money in banks or currency exchange houses. Never change your money on the streets to the people offering this service to you. The airport is not also a good place, the exchange rate is never good.
*Big cities like Buenos Aires, Mendoza or Ushuaia accept credit cards and you will find ATMs quiet easily. In small towns like El Calafate or El Chalten, this is not very common so we recommend to take some cash with you.
*Security: During daylight is fine, you can walk around in different tourist areas with no problems. Like in every big city, you have to be aware of pickpockets... try not to show off your jewelry, rolex watches, iphones and keep an eye on your bags... that's all.
In the evening, if you have to go to a place that is far away from the hotel it's better for you to take a taxi (or Uber).
*Tip policy: Tipping is well used in restaurants, as well for drivers and tour guides.
For restaurants we generally leave 10-15% of the check. In big restaurants you can add it on your credit card, but in small local restaurants it's common to leave the tip in cash (in Argentine Pesos or US Dollars). For drivers & guides is generally used to give between 20 or 50 US Dollars depending if it is a half day or full day tour.
*Tap water is safe, we drink it; but as you are not used to it, it's better for you to buy bottles of water; especially when you travel inside the country.
For your activities in PATAGONIA we recommend to bring:
Long-sleeved Thermal shirts. Thermal form-fitting pants. Polar Fleece. Trekking pants. Cold Weather Hat. Warm Gloves. Thick Socks. Waterproof Jacket Windbreaker. Softshell Waterproof pants. Waterproof gloves. Hiking shoes (water resistant and firm). Light shoes for rest areas. Scarf. Sandals, for river crossing.
We also recommend a sun hat, to use sunscreen and lip protector (SPF 30 or higher) and sunglasses! The sun in summer is very strong.
