Your pack depends on where you plan to go and the time of year. Argentina is a vast country with various climates. In winter, which is in the opposite season from North American, you'll need warm clothing, including gloves, boots, thermal underwear, jerseys, and a heavy jacket. It's best to wear layers in summer because the weather can change considerably. A rain jacket is a good idea because the rainfall in some areas can be unpredictable.
Argentina has many must-see destinations, from Buenos Aires, with its European-inspired architecture and bustling markets, to the awe-inspiring Iguazú Falls. Explore Mendoza’s beautiful vineyards and stunning Andean views. In Patagonia, visit the Perito Moreno Glacier and jagged Mount Fitz Roy. Head to Bariloche for its charming alpine lakes or journey to Ushuaia, Antarctica’s gateway. The colorful hills of Salta and Jujuy provide a glimpse into Argentina’s Indigenous roots.
Whether travelers need a visa depends on their country of residence and the reason for crossing the border. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the European Union, and several other countries can enter Argentina as tourists for up to 90 days without a visa.
Having some Argentine pesos on hand upon arrival is a good idea, but exchanging large amounts of money before your trip may not always provide the best value. This is because economic conditions have led to a dual exchange rate: the official rate and the “blue dollar” rate, which is often better. You can exchange currencies at ATMs, but they charge up to 10% fees. Debit and credit cards are widely accepted.
Argentina does not require most travelers to have any mandatory vaccinations. However, if you’re visiting the northern regions near the borders with Brazil and Paraguay, you should consider getting a yellow fever vaccination. You should also ensure that you are current with all routine vaccinations.
