Most nationalities don’t need a visa to enter Argentina. Nevertheless we recommend verifying what visa requirements are applied in each case. You must also consider that when you visit the Iguazu Falls, there is an excursion to the Brazilian side of the national park, so we cross the border with Brazil where there are different visa regulations (for example US citizens need a visa to enter Brazil).

Argentina doesn’t require any vaccines to enter the country, except for those passengers who come from countries where cholera and yellow fever are endemic.
We recommend having a travel insurance before you leave home. If you still don’t have one, try to get one that offers complete coverage (for example for trip cancellations, trip interruptions or cancellations, expenditure for medical or health emergencies, lost luggage).
All breakfasts are included, unless there is some other agreement. For having lunch and dinner there are excellent restaurants all over the country which offer the best national and international cuisine. If you are a vegetarian, you must consider that although Argentina is famous for its beef, there are many very good vegetarian options.

We recommend a combination of cash, credit and debit cards and some travelers checks. US dollars and Euros are widely accepted in Argentina and foreign exchange agencies are very easy to find. The Brazilian Real and the Chilean Peso are also accepted in many tourist places such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza and most part of Patagonia. The principal credit cards such as American Express, Master Card and Visa are widely accepted. Credit cards are an excellent option, although ATM’s are the easiest way to draw money, they are not always reliable, so it is better to always carry an extra amount of cash. A good idea could be to carry an amount of US dollars in small bills (which are not broken or written on, etc.) with which you feel comfortable. Before you leave your country of origin it is better to inquire at your bank how much you will be charged every time you draw money away from your country. Travelers checks are useful because it is insured money, but the exchange rate is usually lower than if you change cash. It could also be difficult to change them away from the principal cities.
We recommend taking a backpack or a comfortable bag. We also recommend a small daypack for excursions.Regarding clothing, consider that Argentina has many climate zones, with Forest in Iguazu, Mountain in Mendoza and Salta and cold in Patagonia. Is key to dress in layers especially in Patagonia.
