Travel Tips

A passport is all that's required of most visitors -although Australians and New Zealanders do need visas.  Renewable tourist visas are issued at airports and borders, and are good for 90 days.

The local currency is the Argentine Peso. At the time of this writing, it had a 1 to 1 ratio with the US dollar.

Language
Spanish is spoken everywhere, though many Argentines also speak the language of their heritage.

Business Hours
Most business open at 8am, then close for lunch until 3 or 4pm. They will then usually stay open until 8 or 9pm. Most government offices, however, work on a 8am - 5pm basis.
