Travel Tips
Entry Requirements
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.
Vaccines
Vaccines are not required to enter Argentina.
Currency
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.
