A FEW KEY POINTERS TO KNOW BEFOREHAND:
- Argentines are some of the warmest and most open people you will meet. The locals are very helpful and friendly. However keep an eye out for scams
- SUBE card is your friend in Argentina and is available at general stores. It reduces the public transport costs by 50%
- Always keep small change on you at all the time and look out for the money counterfeit scam
- While the meat on offer is a non-vegetarian’s delight, finding great veg options can be a bit of a task
- Things in Argentina start late, end late. People on this continent are laid back in general and like to take their time
- Avoid demonstrations in Buenos Aires. While they happen sometimes and seldom get violent, it’s definitely not where you want to end up on a trip
Preferably take taxis at night, an uber would be even better.
