Reciprocity Fees:
Travelers from the USA, Canada, and Australia entering Argentina via any port of entry are required to pay a fee online before travelling and must show proof of payment on arrival. You can pay this on the Provincia NET website.
Money:
1. Argentina has a lot of corruption within its monetary system. It is important not to carry large bills and to examine the bills that you are spending and receiving. Although Argentines are happy and tourist-friendly, that does not mean that one of them might give you back a counterfeit bill. Bills are generally wrinkled and thin, almost like Monopoly money. The money usually isn’t in best condition so handle it with care.
2. It can be a problem to cash traveler's checks in Argentina. It’s better to bring VISA and Mastercard and draw cash from ATMs. Most ATMs have an English option. Don’t expect to use your credit cards in stores though. They are rarely accepted.
Food & Water:
1. Argentina is a meat-lover’s heaven. Beef is a staple item on any Argentinean menu. Unfortunately, for the vegetarians out there, it will be difficult to avoid having meat on your plate. And for vegans, everything is covered in cheese.
2. For everyone else, get ready to expand your palate to all the wonderful flavors of Argentina. Don’t be angry when you are charged a cubierto fee. This is a sit-down fee and is common in US restaurants as well. Water is questionable depending on your location. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Always drink bottled drinks. No ice. No refills.
Weather:
As Argentina is located on the southern hemisphere, it is important to study the weather patterns before packing for your trip. Air conditioners are scarce. Cab drivers will advertise when they have it.
Safety:
1. In Buenos Aires, be discrete with cameras and other electronics.
2. Watch your step when walking through the city. The sidewalks are often filled with cracked tiles and dog waste.
3. Also, be sure to carry a photocopy of your passport and keep the original somewhere safe.
Health:
Don’t be afraid to go to the doctor while you are there. Argentina has a reasonably good free public healthcare system.
Electricity:
The electrical current is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC), so most North American appliances can't be used without a converter. Older wall outlets take continental-type plugs, with two round prongs, whereas newer buildings take plugs with three flat, angled prongs or two flat prongs set at a "v" angle.
Depending on your arrival time, your hotel room may not be available until the afternoon. Most hotels allow check-in between 1:00pm-3:00pm, however some charge a fee for early check-in. Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
