    FAQ

    Before
    It is not an entry requirement for Argentina, but the Ministry of Health counts Misiones (where Iguazú is), Corrientes, Formosa and parts of Jujuy, Salta and Chaco as yellow fever risk areas and recommends vaccination at least 10 days before visiting areas with transmission.

  6. Argentina

    FAQ

    Before
    Cards now work well: foreign Visa and Mastercard payments are converted at a market exchange rate, so card payments are usually as good as cash. Carry some US dollars or pesos as backup for small vendors and rural areas, and expect prices in pesos to rise frequently with inflation.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says foreign credit and debit cards are accepted in main cities, but ATM withdrawals on foreign cards are subject to low limits and substantial service charges may apply. You may be asked for photo ID, such as a copy of your passport, when paying by card.

  7. Argentina

    Tip

    Before
    Keep phones off café tables and be alert for distraction thefts ("mustard scam") in Buenos Aires tourist areas — petty theft, not violent crime, is the main visitor risk.
    After
    The UK Foreign Office reports distraction thefts in Buenos Aires such as the "mustard scam": thieves take your bags while an accomplice offers to clean off mustard they have sprayed on you. If it happens, politely but firmly refuse help and walk away.

  8. Argentina

    Tip

    Before
    Tap water is safe to drink in Buenos Aires and most Argentine cities; in remote rural areas ask locally or use bottled water.
    After

  9. Argentina

    Tip

    Before
    Ferries from Buenos Aires reach Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo in Uruguay in 1–2 hours. Bring your passport, as you clear both countries' immigration at the terminal (Mercosur nationals can use ID cards).
    After
    (removed)

  10. Argentina

    Tip

    Before
    Pay by foreign card where possible — international cards are settled at a market exchange rate since the FX unification, so the old need to carry stacks of US dollars for the "blue" rate has mostly gone. Keep some USD notes as backup and expect peso prices to move with inflation.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says ATM withdrawals on foreign bank cards are subject to low per-withdrawal and daily limits and can carry substantial service charges, so check with your bank before you travel.

    Best time to visit

    Before

    After

  14. Argentina

    Payments

    Before
    Foreign cards are now widely accepted and charged at a market exchange rate, so paying by card is usually the simplest option; the old "blue dollar" cash premium has largely disappeared since the exchange-rate unification, though US dollar notes remain useful as backup. Inflation means peso prices change quickly.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says foreign credit and debit cards are accepted in main cities, and that you may be asked for photo ID, such as a copy of your passport, when paying by card. ATM withdrawals from foreign bank accounts are subject to low per-withdrawal and daily limits, and substantial service charges may apply.
