Dance, eat and sip your way through Argentina
From saucy cities brimming with tango bars to monster waterfalls and all the steak you can eat, Argentina promises (and delivers) good times to all who come. Sample some of the world’s best wine in Mendoza, be blown away by Iguazu Falls, or follow the footsteps of the Buenos Aires portenos during a traditional asado feast at a local home, paired with a lively tango dancing lesson. It’s hard to imagine the continent of South America (or the world) without that flaming wedge known as Argentina.
Many nationalities do not need a visa to enter Argentina. This includes travellers from Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland and most other Western European countries.
Visa-exempt travellers will usually receive an entry stamp valid for 90 days on arrival. For more information, please visit the government of Argentina's website or the Essential Trip Information.
Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it is important that you check for the latest information.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
Internet is easy to access in cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels in large cities and towns, but it may be limited in rural and remote areas.
Mobile phone coverage is very good in Argentina’s cities, but may not be available in rural and mountainous areas. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before leaving home.
Western-style flushable toilets are the norm in Argentina. It’s a good idea to carry your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer, as they are not always provided. Some hotels and restaurants might have signs asking you to not flush toilet paper – the toilets are modern but the plumbing is not and clogs easily.
