Argentinië, amptelik die Argentynse Republiek (Spaans: República Argentinië), is in Suid-Amerika, en is die agtste grootste land ter wêreld. Die hoogste en die laagste punte van Suid-Amerika is ook in Argentinië: op 6.960 m, Cerro Aconcagua is die hoogste berg in Amerika terwyl Salinas Chicas, op 40 m onder seevlak, is die laagste punt in Suid-Amerika.

Aan die suidpunt van Argentinië is daar verskeie roetes tussen die Suid-Atlantiese Oseaan en die Stille Oseaan, insluitend die Straat van Magellan, die Beagle-kanaal en die Drake Passage --- as alternatiewe vir die vaar rondom Kaap Horn in die oop oseaan tussen Suid-Amerika en Antarktika.

Die naam Argentinië ontleen aan argentinos, die antieke Griekse verkleiningsvorm (tinos) vir silwer (argentos), wat vroeë Spaanse ontdekkingsreisigers gesoek het toe hulle die streek in die 16de eeu bereik het.

Klimaat

Buenos Aires en die Pampas gematig is; koud in die winter, warm en vogtig in die somer.

Die woestyne van Cuyo, wat temperature van 45 ° C kan bereik, is uiters warm en droog in die somer en matig koud en droog in die winter. Lente en herfs vertoon dikwels vinnige omkerings van die temperatuur; 'n paar dae van uiters warm weer kan gevolg word deur 'n paar dae van koue weer, dan weer terug na uiters warm.

Die Andes is koel in die somer en baie koud in die winter, wissel volgens hoogte.

Noordwes-Argentinië se klimaat wissel na gelang van die laagste gebiede, terwyl die laaglandgebiede warm somers en sagte winters ervaar, terwyl ysige toestande op die hoogste hoogtes heers.Salta en San Salvador de Jujuy in valleie en word die hele jaar deur 'n aangename klimaat gekenmerk.

Mesopotamië in die noordooste het 'n vogtige klimaat met volop reënval die hele jaar en hoë temperature.

Patagonië is koel in die somer en koud in die winter. 'N Groot deel van die streek is 'n woestyn, behalwe in die uiterste weste waar die reënval hoër is, wat bosse ondersteun. Die reënval verander baie binne 'n klein afstand wat wissel van meer as 1000 mm tot net minder as 100 km na die ooste. Een van die kenmerkende kenmerke van die klimaat is die sterk, aanhoudende wind wat oor die streek waai, wat die temperatuur baie kouer laat voel as wat dit is. Ekstreme temperatuurveranderings binne 'n enkele dag kom hier nog meer voor; pak 'n verskeidenheid klere in en trek lae aan.

Moenie vergeet dat seisoene omgekeer is van die Noordelike Halfrond nie.

Terrein

Die sentrale streek van Argentinië is die ryk vlakte wat bekend staan ​​as La Pampa. Daar is oerwoud in die uiterste noordooste. Die suidelike helfte van Argentinië word oorheers deur die plat tot rollende plato van Patagonië. Die westelike grens met Chili is langs die ru Andes berge, insluitend die Aconcagua, die hoogste berg buite die Himalajas. Die westerse Cuyo streke aan die voet van die Andes is meestal rotsagtige woestyn met giftige rokbome.

Geskiedenis

Gauchos (Argentynse "cowboys") rus in die Pampas, geskilder in 1846 deur Johann Moritz Rugendas

Na onafhanklikheid van Spanje in 1816 beleef Argentinië tydperke van interne politieke konflik tussen konserwatiewes en liberales. In die eerste dekade van die 20ste eeu het Argentinië die rykste land in Latyns-Amerika geword, en sy rykdom word gesimboliseer deur die weelde van hoofstad. Gedurende die brullende twintigerjare was Argentinië een van die rykste lande ter wêreld, met 'n BBP hoër as dié van groot Europese ekonomieë soos Frankryk, Duitsland en Italië. Europese immigrante het na Argentinië gestroom, veral uit die noordelike dele van Italië en Spanje; teen 1914 het byna 6 miljoen mense na die land gekom.

Na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog het Juan Peron aan bewind gekom en 'n vorm van populisme ingestel wat algemeen bekend staan ​​as Peronisme. Onder Peron het Argentinië 'n proteksionistiese ekonomiese beleid ingestel wat buitelandse handel sterk beperk. Terwyl sulke beleid gelei het tot die oorweldigende gewildheid van Peron en ander Peronistiese politici onder die massas Argentyne van die werkersklas, het dit ook daartoe gelei dat die ekonomie van Argentinië gestagneer het. Peron is in 1976 in 'n militêre staatsgreep omvergewerp.

Na 'n onsuksesvolle oorlog met die Verenigde Koninkryk oor die Islas Malvinas (Falkland-eilande) in 1982 het die militêre leierskap die mag verloor en die demokrasie in 1983 teruggekeer.

'N Pynlike ekonomiese krisis aan die begin van die 21ste eeu het die Argentynse peso met 'n faktor van drie devalueer en 'n reeks swak, kortstondige regerings saam met sosiale en ekonomiese onstabiliteit ingelui. Later in die dekade blyk dit egter dat Argentinië nuwe stabiliteit het, en dit het 'n baie beter ekonomiese vooruitsig, hoewel met die ewige probleem van hoë inflasie. Argentinië is die derde grootste ekonomie in Latyns-Amerika, naas Brasilië en Mexiko, en 'n lid van die G20-groep van die belangrikste ekonomieë.

Elektrisiteit

Argentynse elektrisiteit is 220 V, 50 Hz. Adapters en transformators vir Noord-Amerikaanse toerusting is maklik beskikbaar.

Die beste manier om ingevoerde elektriese toerusting in Argentinië te gebruik, is om een ​​adapter daar te koop. Dit is beskikbaar in die Florida-winkelsentrum in Florida Buenos Aires vir ongeveer US $ 2 of minder in hardewarewinkels buite die middestad. Geboue gebruik 'n mengsel van Europese en Australies prop toebehore. Die Australiese proppe is IRAM-2073, wat fisies identies is aan die Australiese AS-3112-standaard (twee lemme in 'n V-vorm, met of sonder 'n derde lem vir die grond). Die lewendige en neutrale penne in die Australiese toebehore is egter omgekeer. Daarom kan Australiese toerusting onversoenbaar wees ondanks die skynbare versoenbaarheid van die prop. Dit is nie 'n probleem vir batteryladers vir toestelle soos Thinkpad, iPod, iPhone en Blackberry nie.

Europese standaard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" of "Schuko" afsetpunte en die nie-geaarde, maar versoenbare, Europese CEE-7/16 "Europlug" afsetpunte kan nog steeds in sommige ouer geboue gevind word. VSA en Kanadese reisigers wil dalk ook adapters vir hierdie afsetpakkies inpak.

Baie voetstukke het geen aardpen nie. Skootrekenaaradapters behoort hiermee min probleme te hê. As u skootrekenaar 'n aardpen benodig, benodig u 'n stekkeradapter wat drie penne van die skootrekenaar afneem en slegs twee uit die muuraansluiting benodig. Dit werk wel, maar kan die elektriese veiligheid verminder of u waarborg beïnvloed.

Sommige Argentynse voetstukke aanvaar Noord-Amerikaanse stekkers, veral stekkers op kragstroke. Dit doen nie beteken dat hierdie voetstukke 110 volt voorsien. Sorg dat u toerusting 220 volt kan hanteer. Deur die vorm van die stekker eenvoudig te verander met 'n US $ 2-adapter, kan 110 V-toerusting nie op 220 V Argentynse spanning werk nie, tensy die toestel spesifiek ontwerp is om op 110 en 220 volt te werk, onherstelbare skade en selfs brand kan tot gevolg hê. Die meeste rekenaaradapters vir skootrekenaars en baie draagbare elektroniese laaiers is ontwerp om op enige spanning te werk; om seker te maak die spesifikasies vir u toerusting. As u toerusting nie 220 V-spanning kan aanvaar nie, kan u 'n '220-110 V' transformator vir ongeveer US $ 6 in die meeste Argentynse elektronika-winkels koop. Dit is baie swaarder en groter as 'n klein adapter. Daar is twee soorte van hierdie transformators. 'N Mens ondersteun swaar vragte vir 'n kort tydjie, byvoorbeeld 'n haardroër. Die ander ondersteun ligte vragte vir lang tydperke, byvoorbeeld 'n inkstraaldrukker.

Die geldigheid van Schengen- of Amerikaanse visums moet langer as 3 maande wees. Die verwerkingstyd is 10 werksdae.

Met aankoms

U mag goedere ter waarde van US $ 300 inbring sonder om belasting te betaal.

As u net op dieselfde lughawe van vliegtuig verander en nie die land binnekom nie, sal u dit doen steeds ontvang 'n doeanevorm om in te vul, maar vanaf Mei 2014 vra niemand dit op die lughawe nie en u kan dit as 'n aandenking hou.

Met die vliegtuig

Aerolíneas Argentinas en LATAM bied verbindings tussen Buenos Aires'internasionale lughawe Ezeiza en baie stede in Suid-Amerika, sowel as Noord-Amerika, Europa en Australië. Air Nieu-Seeland vlieg direk vanaf Auckland. Qantas bied nie meer direkte vlugte van Sydney na Buenos Airesvlieg eerder na Santiago, die tuiste van sy OneWorld-vennoot LATAM, waar mense kan aansluit op verskeie bestemmings in Argentinië.

Daar is internasionale vlugte na ander lughawens, soos na Mendoza met LATAM van Santiago Chili.

Op vlugte na en van Argentinië word die kajuit voor die veiligheidsdemonstrasie voor die opstyg met insekdoder bespuit (vlugkelners loop met spuitkannetjies in die gange af). Dit word ook op vlugte in ander wêrelddele gedoen tropiese siektes kom algemeen voor soos tussen Singapoer en Australië. Die bespuiting het nie 'n besonder onaangename reuk nie en hulle sê dit is nie gevaarlik vir passasiers nie, maar die situasie kan 'n bietjie ongemaklik wees as u dit vir die eerste keer ervaar.

As u Argentinië in of uit vlieg, is Buenos Aires die mees algemene aankoms- en vertrekpunt. Die stad het twee lughawens, Ministro Pistarini Internasionale Lughawe (EZE ^IATA) ongeveer 40 km suidwes van die sentrum van Buenos Aires en die meer sentraal geleë Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP ^IATA). Eersgenoemde is vir interkontinentale vlugte en 'n paar binnelandse vlugte (meestal na Río Gallegos en Ushuaia), wat vroegoggend vertrek, maar as u na 'n ander plek in Argentinië gaan of na nabygeleë internasionale bestemmings (ongeveer een vlieguur weg) per vliegtuig sal u meestal van Ezeiza na Jorge Newbery moet reis. Daar is goedkoop pendelbusse wat u binne ongeveer 'n uur daarheen neem, maar die reistyd wissel baie, afhangend van die verkeer. Daar is ook enkele vlugte na Jorge Newbery vanaf drie ander belangrike Suid-Amerikaanse hubs, naamlik Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro of Santiago, dus as u 'n ander vliegtuig op daardie lughawens het, kan u aansluitingsvlug dalk by Jorge Newbery (of vertrek). . Kyk weer na u kaartjie en verseker dat u op die regte lughawe is.

U moet in staat wees om met 'n motorfiets te ry of 'n diens taxi vanaf een van die hutte te huur nadat u die doeane verwyder het. Die tarief vir 'n taxi vanaf die internasionale lughawe Ezeiza na Buenos Aires is AR $ 130, en die tarief van die Jorge Newbery-plaaslike lughawe na die stad is AR $ 40 (Maart 2012). U kan nou ook met Uber vanaf Ezeiza ry, die tarief is soms dinamies en baie laer as 'n taxi, en dit word aanbeveel om 'n SMS te stuur of u bestuurder te skakel, aangesien dit moontlik is om die oplaaiplek met u te moet koordineer.

As u 'n ander stad besoek, is daar 'n aantal lughawes in die hele land. Baie vind dit baie makliker om na 'n buurland te reis en dan 'n entjie na die kleiner lughawe te ry. Al die groot stede in Argentinië en belangrike toeristebestemmings soos Mendoza, Perito Moreno en Iguazu-waterval het lughawes in die omgewing. Daar is verskeie nasionale lugdienste met verskillende vlakke van diens. Oor die algemeen kan u vinnig en goedkoop (relatief) oral vlieg. Alhoewel die busse in Argentinië van die gemaklikste ter wêreld is en redelik goedkoop is, neem reis baie tyd vanweë die afstande en stadige reis.

Passasiers wat die Ezeiza-lughawe verlaat, hoef nie meer die 'vertrekbelasting' van US $ 29 (US $ 8 na Uruguay en binnelandse vlugte) te betaal nie, aangesien dit nou by die pryse van die kaartjies ingesluit is.

Met die trein

Daar is geen internasionale dienste na Argentinië nie. 'N Verbinding tussen Chili en Argentinië is in aanbou.

Met die bus

Kaartjiehokkies by die interstads-busstasie in Buenos Aires

Internasionale afrigters loop uit al die buurlande.

• Retiro-busterminaal: 54 11 4310-0700

Die Retiro-busterminus is groot en versteek agter die Retiro-trein- en Subte-stasies. Vir langafstandbusse is dit raadsaam om 'n kaartjie etlike dae voor u reis te koop. Kom minstens 45 minute voor u vertrek aan en vra altyd by 'n inligtingstoonbank of u heknommer dieselfde is as wat op u kaartjie gedruk is. U sal 'n reeks moontlike heknommers kry (byvoorbeeld 17-27). Hou u besittings by Retiro noukeurig dop, want dit is dikwels druk en daar is snags berigte oor diefstalle en selfs muggings. Met die bus reis is een ding waaroor u nie spyt sal wees nie. U sal die beste kliëntediens en wêreldklas sitplekke teëkom. Om Argentynse busbusse met dié in die Verenigde State te vergelyk, sou Argentinië beledigend wees, want hulle het baie hoër standaarde as dié soos Windhond.

Per boot

Gereelde katamaransroetes skakel Buenos Aires met Montevideo en Colonia in Uruguay.

Die Buquebus Die veerbootdiens is tussen Buenos Aires, Argentinië en Colonia del Sacramento en Montevideo, Uruguay. Sommige dienste is selfs vanaf Punta del Este (per bus). Vir die Buquebus-veerboot tussen Buenos Aires en Colonia del Sacramento is daar twee opsies, die een neem drie uur en die ander een uur om daar te kom. Oor die algemeen lyk Buquebus 'n bietjie duurder as Colonia Express.

Colonia Express vlieg tussen een uur veerboot tussen Buenos Aires en Colonia. Daarbenewens kan u 'n busopsie tussen Colonia en Montevideo byvoeg. Kaartjiepryse van / na Montevideo of Colonia is tussen US $ 25–50, afhangend van die dag van die week en die tyd.

Seekat Colonia ry ook tussen Buenos Aires en Colonia met 'n veerboot van een uur, en bied ook 'n gekombineerde busopsie tussen Colonia en Montevideo of selfs Punta del Este.

Daar is ook die webwerf directferries.com/.co.uk, wat reis en veerbote aanbied, hoewel teen hoë pryse. Daarbenewens vereis dit soms dat u besigheidsitplekke moet bespreek, wat nog verdere koste toevoeg. Uiteindelik kan pryse maklik drievoudig wees vir 'n eenvoudige eenrigtingkaartjie.

Verder is daar twee maatskappye (Cacciola en Líneas Delta) wat die stad van Tigre met Carmelo en Nueva Palmira in Uruguay, onderskeidelik. Treine na Tigre vertrek elke tien minute vanaf Retiro (een van die belangrikste treinstasies in Buenos Aires). Die reis kos AR $ 1,1 en duur 50 minute.

Tot 'n mindere mate, Grimaldi Freighters hardloop vragskepe wat tot 12 passasiers vervoer vanaf Hamburg, Londen, Antwerpen, Le Havre, en Bilbao aan Montevideo (Uruguay) elke 9 dae. Hulle vervoer ook motors en u ry u motor aan en af ​​- anders as ander vragdienste. Meer inligting kan op die webwerf gevind word.

Met die motor

Argentinië het baie grensoorgange met sy buurlande Chili, Uruguay, Paraguay en Brasilië, wat maklik is om te gebruik.

Sommige veerbote tussen Buenos Aires en Colonia vervoer ook voertuie. Die landgrensoorgang kan egter gerieflik wees vir 'n meer volledige roete, insluitend Salto, Paysandú en Carmelo en die stede aan die Argentynse kant tydens u reis tussen Argentinië en Uruguay.

Kry rond

Met die bus

Argentinië spog met 'n uitstekende kort- en langafstand-busnetwerk. Aangesien streeksdienste beperk is en vliegtuigkaartjies duurder is, is busreis die mees algemene manier om van stad tot stad in Argentinië te reis. Dit is nie so goedkoop soos voorheen nie, met ongeveer US $ 4-5 vir elke uur reis (Puerto Iguazú na Buenos Aires ongeveer US $ 100).

In Buenos Aires word 'n stadsbus a genoem colectivo of bondi terwyl 'n lang afstand, intercity bus 'n genoem word mikro of omnibus; dit is egter nie altyd waar nie, die gebruik verskil ietwat in provinsiale gebiede. Die middelpunt van hierdie netwerk is beslis Buenos Aires ' Terminal de Omnibus de Retiro; dit het tot 2000 bus- en vertrekbusse per dag, en verskeie ondernemings bedien die meeste bestemmings. Busse arriveer en vertrek vanaf altesaam 75 platforms, en om u kaartjie te koop, moet u kies tussen ongeveer 200 kaartjiestalle op die boonste vlak van die terminale.

Die duurder busse bied oor die algemeen diens van hoë gehalte, en vir afstande langer as 200 km is dit algemeen om kos aan boord te laat bedien. Daar is oor die algemeen 'n goeie hoeveelheid beenruimte, en baie busse het sitplekke wat horisontaal in beddens kan lê (camas genoem) wat hulle baie soos reisklasse in 'n vliegtuig maak. Die beste kategorie met heeltemal sitplekke word gewoonlik genoem cama suite, maar ander name soos tutto leto, ejecutivo , cama vip of salon regte word ook gebruik. Ietwat goedkoper sitplekke skuil net gedeeltelik (semi-camas), of glad nie (servicio común). Elke diens behoort tot een van vyf amptelike gemaksklasse met minimum vereistes wat deur die wet voorgeskryf word om vergelykings te vergemaklik. Die beter busse bied alles wat u benodig, terwyl dit vir die laer kategorieë 'n goeie idee is om drankies en kos saam met u toiletpapier en oordopjes saam te neem. As die reis regtig lank is bv. meer as 12 uur dit is beslis beter om nog 'n paar dollar te spandeer en vir 'n beter busdiens te betaal. As u met 'n groot sak of tas reis, moet u 'n handvol munte saambring om die portier wat u pak in en uit die taxi en bus gooi, te laat kantel.

Onthou dit, hoewel busse gewoonlik aankom by hul bestemming 'n bietjie laat, het hulle amper altyd verlaat betyds. Moenie dink dat die ontspanne benadering oorgaan tot vertrektye van busse nie!

Meer inligting oor busskedules en tariewe is beskikbaar op die webbladsye van die aanlynkaartjieverkopers Plataforma 10, Central de Pasajes. Om kaartjies te koop en om 'n keuse te maak tussen verskillende busmaatskappye wat u kan besoek Kaartjie aanlyn of VoyEnBus . Vir busse wat na Buenos Aires vertrek of aankom, kan u die webbladsye van die Terminal Retiro in Buenos Aires.

Argentinië spoorweg passasiers dienste (interaktiewe kaart)

Die geskiedenis van spoorvervoer in Argentinië is een van die vele op- en afwaartse. Terwyl die spoorwegnetwerk in die 19de eeu teen die digtheid, spoed en kwaliteit van die VSA of baie Europese lande meeding, pas dit by 'n land onder die rykstes ter wêreld, het die dalende fortuin van Argentinië in die 20ste eeu ook die treinspoor getref. Die spoorweë is genasionaliseer tydens die eerste termyn van Juan Domingo Perón en het staatsbesit gebly totdat dit onder die regering van Carlos Menem geprivatiseer is. Die spoorweë het egter sedertdien weer 'n U-draai gemaak en 'n nuwe spoorweg in staatsbesit is in 2015 geskep. Die regering het die hervestiging van langafstand-passasierstreine bevorder, hoewel die meeste lyne steeds teen 'n lae frekwensie (een of twee keer per week vertrek). Die spoorwegnetwerk is baie beperk en interbussebusse bied beter diens en vinniger ritte. Treintariewe is baie goedkoop, dikwels slegs 'n kwart van die busgeld. Die webwerf is 'n bietjie moeilik om te navigeer en slegs Spaans.

Plaaslike reis in die provinsie Buenos Aires is met busse en plaaslike treine, en vinnige treine is die vinnigste manier om deur die stad se verkeer te kom. Die drie grootste treinstasies in Buenos Aires is Retiro, Constitucion en Once. Retiro is 'n groep van drie treinstasies langs mekaar met die belangrikste langafstandbus (of "mikro") terminale agter die verste van die treinstasies (vanaf die middestad).

Een van die belangrikste langafstand treinoperateurs is Trenes Argentinos, wat vertrek vanaf Retiro (Buenos Aires) na Rosario, Córdoba en Tucumán, en van Constitución (Buenos Aires) na Bahía Blanca. Sien ook Satélite Ferroviario vir opgedateerde inligting oor treine en dienste (in Spaans). Kaartjies kan wees aanlyn gekoop met 5% afslag en met kredietkaart. Alhoewel dit nie die keuse van 'n buitelandse paspoort-ID toelaat wanneer u 'n kaartjie koop nie, kan u u nommer (en letters) onder DNI, wat in die trein aanvaar sal word. Om die benodigde aanlynrekening te kry, kan u nie letters vir u ID-nommer invoer nie, maar net iets sit, aangesien u opnuut gevra sal word vir elke gekoopte verbinding.

'N Verbasende (maar redelik duur) treinrit is die Tren a las nubes (Trein na die wolke) in die noordwestelike provinsie van Salta, maar sommige mense kan hoogtesiekte kry. Hierdie diens, wat skorsings ervaar het, het in Augustus 2008 weer begin. Die treinspoor oorsteek nie meer die grens na Chili nie.

Binnelandse vlugte is binne Argentinië beskikbaar, maar kaartjies is duur, en die meeste binnelandse vlugte gaan deur die binnelandse lughawe Aeroparque Jorge Newbery van Buenos Aires. Die belangrikste draers is Aerolíneas Argentinas, Aerolíneas Austral ('n filiaal van Aerolíneas Argentinas) en LATAM Argentinië. Aerolíneas Argentinas se filiaal Austral, deel sy ouers se vloot, en kaartjies vir albei kan by dieselfde kantoor bespreek word. Die pryse vir kaartjies is dubbel vir nie-inwoners, dus wees versigtig met die gepubliseerde kaartjiepryse.

'N Uitsondering op die reis deur Buenos Aires vir binnelandse vlugte, is Aerolineas Argentinas se "Great Circle Route", wat Saterdae, Dinsdae en Donderdae BA-Bariloche-Mendoza-Salta-Iguazu-BA gaan (en albei dae op 'n ander vlug).

As u tydens u internasionale reis na Argentinië met Aerolíneas vlieg, kan u soms afslag kry op binnelandse vlugte. Soms kry u selfs gratis vlugte met u internasionale kaartjie, maar hou in gedagte dat u waarskynlik al hiervoor betaal het met die hoë prys van u internasionale kaartjie.

Beplan altyd om by u eindbestemming aan te kom voor u vlug huis toe, twee of drie dae voor die tyd, aangesien Argentinië, soos die meeste Latyns-Amerikaanse lande, meer vertragings en kansellasies op reis ondervind as die meeste dele van die wêreld.

Bykomende kleiner vervoerders wat binnelandse vlugte aanbied, is:

• Andes Líneas Aéreas, tolvry: 0810 777-2633 (slegs in die land). Begin in 2006 met gereelde vlugte tussen Buenos Aires en Salta. Sedertdien dien hulle nou verskeie groot stede in Argentinië. (April 2018 opgedateer)
• Avianca Argentinië. Verbind Buenos Aires met Rosario, Mar del Plata en Santa Fe in ATR 72-vliegtuie. Daar word beplan om die diens na addisionele stede uit te brei. (April 2018 opgedateer)

Met die motor

Nasionale pad 7 naby Mendoza met die Andes in die agtergrond

Motorhuur is maklik beskikbaar in Argentinië, alhoewel dit 'n bietjie duur is in vergelyking met ander vervoer. Met die motor reis kan u plekke besoek wat moeilik is om met die openbare vervoer te bereik. Patagonië, in die suide van Argentinië, is 'n gewilde ryplek onder toeriste weens die asemrowende uitsig oor baie kilometers oop land.

Argentinië erken in die algemeen geldige bestuurderslisensies van buitelandse jurisdiksies. Bestuurders moet ouer as 21 wees. Die huurmaatskappye hef die kredietkaart van die huurders $ 6000 om in geval van 'n ongeluk te gebruik. Hulle kanselleer hierdie heffing wanneer die motor terugbesorg word. Op die rutas, in die provinsies wat aan ander lande grens, stop die polisie gereeld motors by beheer polisielede ("polisie-kontrolepunte") om versekering- en registrasiepapiere en bestuurderslisensies na te gaan. Hulle stop egter nie alle motors nie; as jy by 'n beheer politiesAs jy stadig ry, sal jy gewoonlik deurwaai sonder om te stop. Naby provinsiale grense, hierdie beheer Dit kan ook inspeksie van die kofferbak vir smokkelprodukte insluit en 'n verpligte fooi van twee peso's vir "ontsmetting" of die verwydering van insekte van die motor se onderkant deur dit te ry oor 'n meganiese spuit wat of water spuit of niks doen nie. Daar is bekend dat die polisie padversperrings instel en omkoopgeld eis vir deurgang, veral rondom die stad Buenos Aires.

Verkeersregulasies in Argentinië is oor die algemeen dieselfde as in Europa en die VSA, maar die plaaslike bevolking ignoreer die regulasies dikwels. Op paaie en snelweë is dit verpligtend om motorligte aan te sit, selfs gedurende die dag.

Maksimum snelheid: 60 km / h in die stad, 40 km / h op sypaaie en 100 km / h tot 130 km / h op paaie buite die stad sowel as op snelweë. Daar is gereeld spoedbeheer. Spoedbeperkings en baanmerke word egter algemeen geïgnoreer, en rooi liggies is algemeen. Die meeste bestuurders behandel stoptekens, agtkantige rooi bordjies lees PARE, asof dit 'opbrengste' is, alhoewel sommige bestuurders dit heeltemal ignoreer. Binne stede rondom Buenos Aires is dit gepas om op 'n dreigende kruising te toeter en die een wat eers toeter, het voorkeur. Reg van weg word ietwat lukraak bepaal deur 'n kombinasie van voertuiggrootte en wie eerste kom. Maak seker dat u deeglik vertroue het in u bestuursvaardighede voordat u in Argentinië probeer ry.

Snelweë is beperk tot die gebiede rondom groot stede. Die grootste deel van die land is verbind deur geplaveide, onverligte tweespoorpaaie (rutas) gedeel deur busse, motors en groot vragmotors. Sommige plekke is slegs bereikbaar met grond- of grondpaaie. Sommige hoofweë in die suide van Argentinië is inderdaad ongesegelde, wat daartoe lei dat 4x4-voertuie gewilder word. Dit is veral die geval in die suide. Dit is belangrik om met 'n goeie kaart te reis (bv. Argentinië Waterdigte Padkaart van World Mapping Project) en om goed ingelig te wees oor u roeteafstand, padtoestande en die geskatte reistyd. Benewens 'n goeie kaart, kan die webwerf van cochera andina publiseer nuttige inligting oor meer as 120 roetes in Argentinië.

Die huidige koste van petrol in sentraal en suid van Argentinië is ongeveer 6 pesos per liter. In baie klein dorpies, veral in die noorde, kan hulle petrol rantsoeneer om te verseker dat hulle genoeg het om te verkoop totdat die volgende brandstofvragmotor opdaag, in welke geval u slegs 30 pesos brandstof tegelyk mag koop. Dit is raadsaam om u tenk gereeld te vul wanneer die geleentheid hom voordoen. In die Andes neem die petrolverbruik van nie-turbo-enjins toe as gevolg van die hoogte.

Deur duim

Die rygklubAutostop Argentinië begin in Argentinië in 2002, geïnspireer deur klubs in Frankryk, Duitsland, Italië en die Verenigde State. As gevolg hiervan het hitchhiking by die jonger generasie meer aanvaarbaar geword, en om 'n duim op 'n snelweg op te tel, is 'n simbool wat die meeste mense verstaan.

Ritters is ook 'n uitstekende en goedkoop manier om die ware Argentinië en sy mense te leer ken. If you do get a ride, you will in general be treated with much generosity: Argentinians are very friendly and interested. Due to the lack of budget accommodation in remote regions and even larger cities off the touristy routes, as well as because of the large distances, it is advisable to carry a tent with you. There are many opportunities along the main highways to put it up—sometimes a little search is necessary. This way you can discover Argentina (at least its south) even with the most limited budget: €300 for 4-5 weeks is possible and still see the interesting and picturesque sights.

Everything south and including the La Pampa Province is comfortable and easy to hitchhike. Only infrequent traffic (through the centre), other hitchhikers (near El Chalten, El Calafate and especially El Bolsón) or bad weather might set you back. Hence, always have a backup plan (bus, tent, hike, etc.) and simply stay confident. You might in addition take a route which might seem longer, but is in the end much faster, i.e. Ruta 3 is very easy due to the high traffic and few competitors, but Ruta 40 has far less traffic, more competitors and is generally slower due to its conditions. Either way, many helpful tips can also be found in the hitchhiking guide of WikiVoyage.

Nevertheless, near Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Cordoba it is considerably more difficult to hitchhike, and the thumb of a woman is significantly more successful than the thumb of a man. A single man should count on long hours of waiting or simply luck in these regions. Just try it once or twice to find out whether it is possible where you are. Nevertheless, even though as woman it might be more successful, be cautious and vary especially as a solo woman: and never fall asleep and remain on the main roads.

On foot and navigation

Argentina is an excellent place for hiking and trekking, both in the western Andes, southern Tierra del Fuego and the wide Patagonia, providing many interesting trails. However, due to the often remote nature of these trails, it is important that you are well prepared and have a proper and reliable map with you. In addition, using GPS adds an extra layer of safety, both in cities as well as the countryside. For reliable (offline) maps and comprehensive trails and map information, consult OpenStreetMap, which is also used by this travel guide, and by many mobile Apps like OsmAnd (complex with many add-ons) and MAPS.ME (easy but limited).

Praat

The official language is Spanish. Generally, most people speak Spanish using a local dialect, Castellano Rioplatense, which is subtly different from both the language of Spanje and that of Central America. Most notably, the pronoun "tu" is replaced by "vos", and the you plural pronoun "vosotros" replaced with "ustedes", the latter being common throughout Latin America.

People from each city pronounce words differently as well. People from Buenos Aires speak differently compared to those from Spain and other Spanish speaking countries; example: chicken in Spanish (pollo) is pronounced PO-zhO of PO-SHO by the "Porteños" (residents of Buenos Aires), with the SH sound harder than in Spanish; unlike most other Spanish speakers of South America who pronounces it PO-yo. All Argentinians learn standard Castilian Spanish in school.

Rioplatense Spanish is also heavily influenced by Italiaans, even frequently being mistaken for it, a result of the large influx of Italian immigrants. Hand gestures derived from Italy are extremely common, and many colloquialisms are borrowed from Italian (for example: instead of saying "cerveza", which means beer, youngsters find "birra" cooler, which is in Italian). Most locals can readily understand most Spanish dialects, as well as Portuguese or Italian (especially due to its similarity to the local Spanish).

English is mandatory in high school and usually understood in at least a basic level in tourist areas. German en French can be understood and to some extent spoken by a few. A few places in Patagonia near Rawson have native Welsh speakers.

The interjection "che" is extremely common and means approximately the same thing as English "hey!". It can also be employed as a phrase known to someone you don't remember their names. Ex: "Escucháme, Che,...." Sometimes it is peppered throughout the speech, similar to the English phrase "yo," as in "What's up, yo?" Nonetheless, communication will not be a problem for any Spanish speaker.

Argentines will communicate with each other using lunfardo, a street dialect or slang. It is used together with Spanish by replacing nouns with their synonyms in lunfardo. As opposed to changing the original meaning, it just makes the phrase more colourful. An important aspect of lunfardo is that it is only spoken. For example, one knows the word dinero (money), but may use the word "guita" in order to refer to the same things. Lunfardo is composed of about 5,000 words, many of which do not appear in the dictionary.

Sien

For many visitors, Argentina as a country has the same seductive appeal as the tango for which it's famous. Just like that iconic partner dance, Argentina embraces you, constantly moving to the rhythm of the streets and improvising every step of the way.

Urban life

Its large cities all bustle with life. The famous capital, Buenos Aires, is the most visited city in Suid-Amerika and a place like no other. Of course, there's fancy cosmopolitan boutiques, top of the line nightlife and gourmet cuisine. However, it's the classic, unpolished side of the city that makes it a world wide traveller's magnet. The downtrodden but colourful neighbourhoods where crazy traffic sounds drown out distant accordion tunes, the pleasant street-cafés en parillas (steak houses), busy outdoor markets and the lovely old centre with its European colonial architecture. San Telmo is the oldest neighbourhood of the city and a good place to indulge in the city vibe of cafés, street artists, tango parlors and antique markets in a colonial surrounding. The atmosphere is perhaps Buenos Aires' biggest attraction, but some of the main sights include Recoleta’s cemetery en die Plaza de Mayo. Argentina's other big cities share the energetic buzz of BA, but have a distinct character of their own. Mendoza is a lively yet laid-back town, characterized by broad avenues. It's famous as a wine capital far beyond the borders of Argentina and a perfect starting point for the Argentina Wine Route along the hundreds of wineries in the area. As it's close to the Andes, it's also a good base for winter sports and other outdoor activities. The old university city Córdoba is known for its particular musical culture with the cuarteto as its number one music style. The city also boasts some of the best colonial heritage sights in the country. Bariloche, also at the base of the Andes mountains, is a major tourist destination, popular for its skiing opportunities, lovely beaches and chocolate shops.

Natural wonders

Die Iguaçu Falls are one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world - as viewed from the Brazilian side.

Fascinating as Argentina's urban life may be, the country's mighty natural attractions are at least as good a reason to come. The landscapes are incredibly various, from the high peaks of the Andes and the famous Perito Moreno Glacier to cacti filled desserts, sandy Atlantic beaches and biodiverse wetlands. With some 30 national parks in the country, there's always a good place nearby to see some of the country's natural wonders. A highlight in the subtropical north are the spectacular Iguaçu Falls, easily one of the most impressive waterfalls on earth. Argentina's wildlife includes flamingos, penguins, caimans and capybaras, sea lions and -at times- even whales. Especially when you're visiting in autumn, the coastal town of Puerto Madryn is a must. From there you can easily make your way to Punta Tombo en Peninsula Valdes to go whale-watching and meet up close and personal with some of the million penguins who come to Patagonia each year to nest and raise their young. Head to El Calafate to organize your tour to the highly popular Los Glaciares National Park and see the famous glaciers and the icy Argentino Lake. Be amazed by the many colours and remarkable rock formations of Quebrada de Humahuaca, a mountain range in the north that extends far over the Bolivian border. Drive through and spot traditional villages and indigenous women and their goat herds. Other great destinations for nature lovers include the Ibera wetlands (with the most diverse fauna in the country) and Talampaya National Park, a primary site for archaeological and palaeontological finds.

Generally, Argentina is a country that charges excessively for its natural wonders and touristy sights, like the one mentioned above. And especially as a foreigner you generally pay twice as much as locals, even though costs of living do not differ much between Argentina and Europe. This can make Argentina an expensive destination and barely interesting for someone on a shoestring. However, there are great alternatives that require little money and are equally interesting, like El Chalten and the Viedma Glacier (the largest in Argentina), El Bolsón with great hiking options (even into Chile), (Lake) Epecuén, Cerro de La Ventana, San Antonio Oeste with the popular Las Grutas beach resort town and the picturesque Playa Las Conchillas and Playa Piedras Coloradas, Pinguinera Cabo Dos Bahias near Puerto Madryn, Bosques Petrificados (de Jaramillo), the colorful hills of the Quebrada de Humahuaca in Jujuy and other impressive rock formations in the Salta Province, and many more. In addition, relying on hitch-hiking and travelling with a tent can bring down costs in addition.

Some other highlights

Die countryside in general is a most pleasant part of Argentina; laid-back and with a taste for life close to nature. Rural villages are a breath of fresh air compared to the country's hectic big cities and a nice way to experience traditional culture. The north is as South-American as Argentina gets. Its wine regions are famous throughout the world and an increasingly popular tourist destination. If the bustle of Buenos Aires is too much for your taste, Mendoza en Salta are an excellent choice. They also make for a good base to explore the scenic regional vineyards and friendly villages with the Andes mountains in the background. Salta is also the starting point for the Train to the Clouds, a heritage railway that seems to be running solely to provide some unforgettable panoramas for visitors. Die Traslasierra Valley is a pleasant green valley and one of the many places where you can enjoy a world class spa, as hot springs naturally occur around here. Finally, if you like a day at the beach, Argentina has plenty to offer for you. Mar del Plata is one of the top destinations for beach resorts.

Hiking and trekking

Argentina is a great country to seek out the nature, glaciers, lakes and mountains for a couple of days with a tent, sleeping bag and cooking ware. Many of the above mentioned sights are spotted with beautiful hiking trails of varying quality and level, like El Chalten, San Carlos de Bariloche, of El Bolsón—read there for more information on specific trails. Often you will have to climb up a mountain to see a glacier or a lake, just to return later—in that case consider leaving your (heavy) luggage where it cannot be found and enjoy the trail without the burden, but remembering where you left your backpack before.

Also, see the general Hiking en Wilderness backpacking guidelines of Wikivoyage.

Walking tours

Buenos Aires has a number of walking tour options. They include the typical tours you may find in any city, as well as interesting options including free walking tours, downloadable MP3 walking tours, and even running tours.

Sports

The most popular sport in Argentina is football (soccer), and it is often said that football is not just a sport but a religion. If you come to Argentina, you shouldn't miss the chance to experience a professional match live. Argentina's top professional football league is the Primera División, and the fans are very passionate. The Argentinian national team is also one of the world's footballing powerhouses, and matches against Brazil and England in particular are very charged affairs.

Football teams

There are five teams called "Los 5 grandes", which are the elite of Argentinian football tournaments:

• Boca Juniors - famous stadium "La Bombonera" where Diego Maradona played.
• River Plate - Stadium "El monumental de Nuñez" where Argentina won the 1978 FIFA World Cup.
• Racing Club - The first Argentine team to win the Club World Championships.
• Independiente - won the most Copa Libertadores
• San Lorenzo

Other Teams

• Rosario Central - Stadium: "El gigante de Arroyito"
• Vélez Sarsfield (European SouthAmerican Cup Champion in Tokyo 1994)
• Estudiantes de La Plata - World Champion '68, Champion of America 1968 - 1969 - 1970 -2009. Club where Juan Sebastián Verón played.
• Newell's Old Boys – team where Gabriel Batistuta played. Lionel Messi played in its youth program before moving to Spain as a teenager.
• Colón de Santa Fe – team with the largest number of supporters based on Argentina's coast

The rivalry between the Buenos Aires clubs of Boca Juniors and River Plate, known as El Superclásico , is by far the most intense in Argentina, with rioting and even stabbings between fans of the two clubs being a regular occurrence.

Other sports

Rugby and basketball (basquet) are also popular.

Argentine polo is famous throughout the world, and the country is home to all of the highest ranked players today. Introduced by British settlers in the 1870s, skillful gauchos adopted it and the passion caught like wildfire. The Argentine Polo Open, usually played on early December every year, is a must for polo fans from all over the world. The sport's governing body is the Asociacion Argentina de polo and its webpage lists all the official tournaments held each year. Argentina is also well known for the many polo clinics held on clubs and farms around Buenos Aires.

Tennis has been growing in popularity with the Argentina's steady production of top players since the 1980s.

Field hockey has also became a popular sport, especially among women. The National Women's Field Hockey Team, Las Leonas (The Lionesses), has grown in the past years and developed into a now competes against the best in the world.

Car racing is popular too: The main leagues are Turismo Carretera (Ford vs Chevrolet), TC2000 (Touring Cars) and TopRace. The most important racetrack in Argentina is in Buenos Aires is Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez.

Golf in Argentina is an increasingly popular sport thanks in part to the success of Argentinian players such as Angel Cabrera, Andres Romero and Eduardo Romero. There are around 280 courses in the country, most around Buenos Aires and including such well-known names as the Jockey Club, Olivos and Hurlingham. On the Atlantic coast in Mar del Plata are a couple of courses that have held international events, and Patagonia has excellent resort courses such as Llao Lloa, Arelauquen and Chapelco (a Nicklaus design), as well as the 9-hole course in Ushuaia.

Koop

Geld

The official currency of Argentina is the peso (ISO: code: ARS), denoted by the symbol "$". It is divided into 100 centavos. Coins come in 5, 10, 25, 50 centavos and 1 and 2 peso denominations. Banknotes are issued in values of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 pesos. Be prepared to receive small change in the form of golosinas (candies/sweets), especially in Chinese supermarkets.

Since 1969 thirteen zeroes have been dropped (a factor of ten trillion), the peso has been revalued again and again, and its name changed.

Inflation

In 2018 and 2019 the peso lost more than half of its value against euro and US dollar. Due to this history of inflation, Wikivoyage is no longer updating prices in pesos. Any price information more than a year old must be treated with a lot of caution and it probably unreliable. Luckily, most accommodations post their prices in US dollars online—prepare yourself for discussions on the corresponding price in pesos.

Banks

Banks are generally open from 10:00 to 15:00 and only on weekdays.

ATMs

ATMs are the most convenient but on the other hand quite expensive source of cash. In general, ATMs in Argentina charge very high additional fee when using a credit card, independently of your credit card conditions at home. ATMs should be used only in banks or ATMs that acted as the banks' branches. Just like in most cities, independent ATMs (not affiliated with any bank) are considered less safe.

Most ATMs strictly limit withdrawals on foreign cards. Most machines have a withdrawal limit of around AR$10,000 and a fixed fee of AR$600-1000 (Mar 2021). RedBrou ATMs have been good bets.

Sometimes the machines also dispense US dollars for international bank cards that are members of the Cirrus and PLUS networks. Visitors from Brazil can find many Banco Itaú agencies all over the city.

Western Union

You can send yourself cash via Western Union online. You will get better rates than st money exchanges or ATMs, but there is a fee.

You will get an email confirmation within a few minutes allowing you to collect your Argentinian pesos at their nearest office or shop. You must set up an account to send yourself money.

Money exchange

Cash exchange rates for US dollars are very competitive, and it may be more advantageous to simply bring a large sum of US currency, considering the high fees of ATMs. It is easy to stack up US dollars in Uruguay because its ATMs do allow US dollar withdrawals at no or a low fee. However, of course then you will also have to watch this money all the time. So, a mix of both, US dollars and ATM, is probably the best.

Exchange rates at official Bureau de Change in Argentina are very competitive with rates being barely 1% off the official interbank rate. Also, many of the larger banks (like Banco de la Nación Argentina) exchange money at competitive rates, even euros. As of 2019, expect to lose 10-20% when buying Argentenian pesos with Chilean pesos as most banks do not exchange them. The bigger the city the easier it gets to exchange money, even the oddest currencies—see Buenos Aires#Buy. You might need a passport with banks though.

Black market currency dealers, called arbolitos ("little trees") and operating from cuevas ("caves"), can be found yelling "Cambio", with Florida Street in Buenos Aires being particularly notorious. At so-called "blue dollar" (dólar blue) currency exchanges you can get up to AR$138 as of Apr 2021 (Blue Dollar.net). If you choose to go down this route anyway, remember that it is illegal, so take all possible precautions to avoid getting ripped off and remember that your money may be confiscated if you are busted by the police.

Nevertheless, hostel owners will sometimes be willing to exchange US dollars, since they will save the dollars for themselves instead of their devaluing local currency. Still check the notes received and the current and up-to-date rates.

Credit cards

Credit cards are used less commonly in Argentina than in the USA or Europe. Many businesses in the city accept them and you can expect any major chain - supermarkets, fast food, clothing stores, etc. - to also accept them. The standard 10% tip in restaurant is often expected to be paid in cash, even when you pay the bill by credit card. Bear in mind, tipping is only expected when the establishment does not already charge you for "cubiertos" (literally, utensils. In practice it means "table service").

If you use a debit or credit card, the checkout operator in places like supermarkets will often require you to present both your card and a form of identification such as a drivers' licence. Present both simultaneously at checkout and with confidence. A lack of confidence will lead to a request for your passport as identification. For larger purchases such as long-distance bus tickets you will need to present your passport and your credit card. Although this makes shopping difficult, do try to keep your passport in a location such as a hotel-room safe.

PIN cards have become the most common ones and should be accepted anywhere, as well as magnetic band cards. PINs should be accepted but if not, the shop attendant will ask you to sign the invoice. Contactless credit cards are not commonly accepted as of Nov 2016.

Traveller's checks

They are rarely used and may be difficult to exchange, but there is an American Express office at San Martin Plaza in Buenos Aires that will take American Express' Traveller's Checks. Also, Banco Frances will cash them with proper identification.

Tipping

There is no obligation to tip in Argentina although it is considered customary. Some restaurants already charge customers with "cubiertos" (table service). In these cases tipping is not expected. Sometimes rounding up or telling them to "keep the change" is enough on small checks, deliveries, gasoline tenders, etc. Leaving at least a 10% tip is considered kind and polite at restaurants, cafes, hotels, beauty parlors, barbers, ushers and car-washes. Tipping bartenders is not customary. Leaving no tip when feeling unsatisfied is not an uncommon gesture, and it's interpreted as such. Taxi drivers do not expect to be tipped.

Another local custom is to tip the ushers in theatres and opera houses when they're also in charge of handing out the programmes; one may request one without tipping, at the risk of being considered cheap.

Service fees are included in most upscale hotels and restaurants, usually around 15%. These fees can appear in the menu as "valor del cubierto", "servicio", or simply "cubierto". By law it is mandatory that this item is represented in the same text size as the rest of the menu items.

Shopping

The fashion and art scenes are booming. Buenos Aires' signature European-South American style overflows with unique art pieces, art deco furniture, and antiques. Local fashion designers, who are becoming a source of inspiration for the U.S. and European high-end markets, compose their collections based on lots of leather, wools, woven fabrics and delicate laces with a gaucho twist. At times, the exchange rate can present good value for international tourists.

Fashionable clothing and leather products can be found in most commercial areas; jackets, boots and shoes are easily available. However, Buenos Aires has a relatively mild climate, so truly cold-weather gear is harder to find here. Long coats or heavy gloves may not be in stock; similarly, jeans and other basics have a thin construction compared with those in cooler countries. The Andes regions and Patagonia are considerably colder in the winter, so thick clothing is much easier to find here.

Electronics are not cheap, as they are subject to heavy import tariffs. The price of music, books, and movies lags slightly behind changes in the exchange rate and can offer a bargain if the volatile exchange rates are in your favour.

Most free-standing shops in Buenos Aires are open 10:00-20:00 on weekdays, and some of them also Saturdays and Sundays, depending on what area of the city they are in. Enclosed malls, however, set their own hours, and are also open on the weekends.

Most places outside of the city of Buenos Aires, where most stores remain open during a siesta, still observe a siesta from approximately noon until 16:00; almost all businesses are closed during this time. The precise closing hours vary from store to store, according to the preferences of the owner. Shops and offices generally open again in the evening until 21:00 or 22:00.

Eet

Bife de chorizo

Sien ook: Argentine cuisine

Argentinian breakfasts are somewhat light compared to what those from English-speaking countries are accustomed to. Typically, it consists of a hot drink (coffee, tea, milk) with some toast, medialunas (croissants, literally "halfmoons") or bread.

Hotels typically provide a free buffet consisting of coffee, tea, drinkable yogurt, assorted pastries and toast, fruit and perhaps cereal. These kinds of breakfasts are also readily available in the many cafes.

Lunch is a big meal in Argentina, typically taken in the early afternoon. Lunch is so big because dinner is not until late: 20:30 to 21:00 at the earliest, more commonly at 22:00 or even later. Most restaurants do not serve food until then except for pastries or small ham-and-cheese toasted sandwiches (tostados), for afternoon tea 18:00-20:00. Tea is the one meal that is rarely skipped. A few cafés do offer heartier fare all day long, but don't expect anything more substantial than pizza or a milanesa (breaded meat fillets) or a lomito (steak sandwiches) outside of normal Argentine mealtimes. Dinner is usually eaten at 22:00 and typically consists of appetizers, a main course, and desserts.

North Americans should beware that Argentinians use the term "entrée" to refer to appetizers. This is common outside of North America but can surprise some Canadians and most Americans. In Argentina the main dish is a "plato principal".

The appetizers in Argentina typically consist of empanadas (baked pastries with a meat filling), chorizo or morcilla (meat or blood sausage), and assortments of achuras (entrails). For a main dish, there is usually bife de chorizo (sirloin or New York Strip steak) and various types of salads. Dessert is often a custard with dulce de leche and whipped cream topping.

Beef is a prominent component of the Argentine diet, and Argentine beef is world-famous for good reason. Argentina and Uruguay are the top 2 countries in meat per capita consumption in the world. Definitely check out Argentine barbecue: asado, sometimes also called parrillada, because it is made on a parrilla, or grill. Food in Argentina is virtually synonymous with beef. The beef is some of the best in the world, and there are many different cuts of meat. Lomo (tenderloin) and bife de chorizo are excellent. "Costillas" (ribs) is considered by locals the real "asado" meat cut and is very tasty. North Americans will see that costillas are different to those at home. Argentinians cut ribs perpendicular to the bone. Having a parrillada dinner is one of the best ways to experience Argentine cuisine; preferably with a bottle of wine and a good amount of salads. In some popular areas, parrilladas are available from small buffets, or street carts and barbecue trailers. Skewers and steak sandwiches can then be purchased to takeaway.

Given that a large portion of Argentines are of Italian, Spanish and French descent, such fare is very widespread and of high quality; pizzerias and specialized restaurants are very common. A convention observed in Argentina is to treat the pasta and sauce as separate items, with each charged separately.

Cafés, bakeries, and ice-cream shops (heladerías) are very popular. Inexpensive and high-quality snacks can be found in most commercial areas, and many have outdoor seating areas. Empanadas (turnovers) containing meats, cheeses, or many other fillings can be bought cheaply from restaurants or lunch counters. The Alfajor is a must try snack of a two cookies (biscuits) with a dulce de leche filling and can be purchased at any local kiosco.

Smoking is now prohibited in all of Buenos Aires' restaurants and all of Mendoza's restaurants. In most cities, it's forbidden in all public buildings (cafés, shops, banks, bus stations, etc.), so it's better to ask before smoking anywhere.

Drink

Mate

Yerba mate (pronounced in two syllables, 'MAH-teh') is a traditional Argentine herbal drink, prepared in a hollowed-out gourd which is passed around in a social setting and drunk through a metal straw. Although usually drunk hot, mate can also be served cold, usually known as "tereré"; the version that is preferred in Paraguay and Mato Grosso, Brazil. Mate contains less caffeine than coffee, but contains other vitamins and minerals that give it a stimulating effect, particularly to those who are not used to it. It is naturally rather bitter, so it's not uncommon to add sugar, though it's polite to ask before adding sugar to it. The drinking of mate with friends is an important social ritual in Argentina. The informal tea ceremony is led by a "cebador" or server and people arrange themselves in a "rueda" or wheel.

Argentina is renowned for its excellent selection of wine. The most popular being Mendoza which is rated among the worlds most popular regions due to its high altitude, volcanic soils and proximity to the Andes Mountains. The terrain seems to complement the European grape varietals with interesting notes not present when produced in other climates, this allows the Argentine wine to be positioned in a league of its own. The best way to experience and understand the selection of Argentine varietals is one of the many tasting events.

The legal drinking age is officially 18, although most establishments will serve anyone approximately 16 or older. Most restaurants serve a broad range of liquors. Beer is offered in drought form in a chopp (small glass) or served in bottles or cans, and is typically a light, easily drinkable lager. The most popular locally made brands of beer are Quilmes, Isenbeck, Schneider and Brahma (although it's Brazilian). Widely-available imports include Warsteiner, Heineken, Budweiser and Corona. There are now many small pubs and bars in Buenos Aires that brew beer on premises, but most of these offer a poor quality product compared to what is widely available in parts of Europe and the USA. In the Buenos Aires area, the Buller Brewing Company in Recoleta and the Antares Brewery in Mar del Plata offer excellent handcrafted English-style ales. Ask if there are "cervezas artesanales", locally hand crafted beers.

Fernet is widely consumed by Argentinians, especially in Córdoba, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. It came from Italy, and is a very bitter drink made from herbs, with 40% alcohol and dark brown in colour. Due to its bitter taste, it is usually mixed with Coke (served in bars, pubs, clubs), and if you go to an Argentinian house they will have Fernet and Coke to offer you. Also, Fernet is usually served as a digestif after a meal, but may also be enjoyed with coffee and espresso, or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. It may be enjoyed at room temperature or with ice.

Cider (sidra) is the typical drink at celebrations, especially at Christmas. On other important occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or weddings, sidra is the drink chosen for the toast.

Cafés often have fresh-squeezed fruit juices, which is otherwise hard to find.

Slaap

A wide range of accommodation possibilities are available in Buenos Aires and the rest of the country, from student hostels to homey bed and breakfasts to trendy boutique hotels in the city to luxurious palaces and modern five-star hotels. There are also many beautiful lake-side lodges in Patagonia, and fabulous regional farms (estancias) outside the cities.

Many vacation cabañas (cabins or weekend houses) are available for short-term rent directly from the owners in the mountains, seaside, and in rural areas. Drive around and look for signs saying alquiler ("rental"), or check the classified section of any major newspaper.

Argentina is a vast country and camping is possible at many places (free or including amenities), especially near the beach. In addition, many villages and towns offer inexpensive "municipal camping". However, consider that many grounds are private property, so you should not camp here. Consult OpenStreetMap, which many mobile Apps like OsmAnd en MAPS.ME use, to find places which have been tagged by other people as possible camping sites.

Learn

Tango is never far away when you're wandering through Buenos Aires

There are a lot of public and private quality institutes who give Spanish lessons, and many more for Tango lessons, Argentinean art and literature, architecture.

Apart from Buenos Aires, Mendoza is another popular and excellent place to take Spanish lessons for those who want a more idyllic setting (see the entry for Mendoza for details).

Education in Argentina is free for everyone, no matter the level, and it has a good quality.

Work

Volunteering (and learning Spanish at the same time) is big in South America and thus also in Argentina. General information on the South America article.

Cope

Facebook has an Argentina & Chile Backpacker / Traveler group where you can find other travellers and up-to-date information on the country. In general, also see South America#Cope.

Bly veilig

Argentina has a relatively high traffic mortality rate, with about 20 road deaths per day, and with more than 120,000 injured people each year, including tourists. Pedestrians should exercise extreme caution. Do not jaywalk if you do not feel comfortable, and be careful crossing even when allowed.

There is plenty of activity and foot traffic throughout the night. Nice areas have a very thorough police presence, perhaps one officer per 3 blocks, plus store security and auxiliary patrols. Public security in all major cities like Buenos Aires, Córdoba en Rosario is handled by the Federal Police and the National Gendarmerie or the Naval Prefecture, especially in the Puerto Madero area of Buenos Aires.

As in any large city, certain particular neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires and other cities are very dangerous. Some shady neighbourhoods include Retiro, Villa Lugano, La Boca and Villa Riachuelo. Ask trusted locals, such as hotel desk staff or police officers, for advice. Pay attention to your environment and trust your instincts. If an area seems questionable, leave.

Many people in the street and in the subway hand out small cards with horoscopes, lottery numbers, pictures of saints, or cute drawings on them. If you take the card, the person will ask for payment. You can simply return the card along with a no, gracias. or simply in silence if your Spanish is not good. Persistent beggars are usually not dangerous; a polite but firm no tengo nada ("I don't have anything") and/or hand gestures are usually enough.

Most crimes involve petty theft (pickpockets) in the subway and on crowded city streets, and especially inhabitant from Buenos Aires have a story to tell, which is also why many people carry their bags in front of them. In most cases, if your wallet is stolen, you won't even notice until hours later. However, paying attention to your stuff, will mostly prevent this from happening. Never hang your purse or bag from the back of your chair in a cafe or restaurant—stealthy theft from such bags is common. Keep your purse or backpack on the floor between your legs while you eat. Petty theft is common but seldom, like in a few other European cities like Paris or Naples. Violent robberies are uncommon, and mostly only happen where you would expect them, at night in a lone street in the wrong quarter. In the unlikely event that you are confronted by a mugger, simply hand over your valuables; they are replaceable and the muggers may be on drugs, drunk, have a knife or a gun.

Popular demonstrations are very common in Buenos Aires, and are best avoided by tourists as these demonstrations sometimes grow into violent confrontations with the police or National Gendarmerie, particularly as they approach the government buildings in the city centre.

Since 2005 the government has cracked down on illegal taxis very successfully. Petty crime continues (like taking indirect routes or, less commonly, giving counterfeits in change). Taxis that loiter in front of popular tourist destinations like the National Museum are looking for tourists. Stay away from them. Your chance of falling prey to a scam increases in these situations. Stopping a taxi a block or two away on a typical city street where others locals would do the same is good choice. Also having small bills will help you avoid issues mentioned, as well you will often find taxis that don't have change for 100 peso notes.

Carry some ID with you, but not your original passport; a copy (easily provided by your own hotel) should be enough.

'Villa's' of ghetto's, gewoonlik saamgestel uit hout- of staalplaathutte, moet ook vermy word weens die hoë misdaadsyfer in hierdie gebiede. As u een hiervan wil besoek, moet u dit slegs doen as deel van 'n begeleide toer met 'n betroubare gids of toermaatskappy.

Dwelmgebruik is, hoewel dit wettig in Argentinië is, deur die meeste inwoners afgekeur. Alkohol is hier gewoonlik die beste keuse. Paco, 'n kraakagtige mengsel van produkte uit die vervaardigingsproses van kokaïen, is 'n ernstige probleem, en die gebruikers daarvan moet ten alle koste vermy word.

Dit is bekend dat in 2007 veiligheidsoperateurs op lughawens waardevolle voorwerpe soos iPod's, digitale kameras, selfone, sonbrille, juwele en skootrekenaars gesteel het terwyl hulle die ingecheckte bagasie van passasiers gescand het.

Polisiebeamptes sal gereeld probeer om u te laat omkoop tydens 'n verkeersstop, alhoewel hulle net die kaartjie kan betaal, sal hulle dit sonder probleme gee.

Bly gesond

San Ignacio Miní, een van die Jesuïetsendings op die wêrelderfenis in die noorde van Argentinië

Om Argentinië te besoek, veroorsaak nie groot gesondheidsorg nie. Sekere inentings kan nodig wees vir besoekers, afhangende van watter dele van Argentinië u van plan is om te besoek. Geelkoors inentings word aanbeveel vir diegene wat die Noordelike woude besoek. As u u inenting tuis gemis het, is dit moontlik om 'n gratis geelkoors in Argentinië in een van die groter stede te kry. Dit kan van voordeel wees as u verder reis na ander Amasone-lande. Wees egter bereid om heel aan die einde te staan ​​- eers word die plaaslike bevolking behandel. Daar is ook spesifieke dae van die week wanneer die inenting plaasvind.

Dengue, 'n muskietgedraagde siekte, is 'n ernstige en potensieel dodelike siekte, maar slegs 'n risiko in die verre noorde. Muskietbyte moet ten alle koste in die verre noorde voorkom word, waar dit baie afweermiddels het, van lotions tot bespuitings, asook citronella-kerse en 'espirales' ('n spiraalvormige wierook). Dit is by die meeste kiosks (kioskos) of apteke te koop.

Anders klimaat omstandighede kan jou liggaam verras, dus wees op die hoogte van die weer voordat jy aankom. 'N omgekrapte maag is die meeste waaroor u waarskynlik hoef te bekommer, aangesien u liggaam aanpas by plaaslike mikro-organismes in die voedsel.

Dit is ook die beste om u saggies te vergewis van die plaaslike bevolking dieet - skielike hoeveelhede rooivleis, rooiwyn, sterk koffie en soetgebak kan baie onrusbarend wees vir 'n maag wat gebruik word vir sagter herhalings - en hoewel kraanwater in Argentinië is dit veilig om te drink, as u soms sterk gechloreer is, kan u verkies om op die platteland in die noorde van die land op te let.

Alhoewel orale voorbehoedmiddels word sonder voorskrif verkoop, maar 'n vrou wat dit oorweeg om dit te neem, word eers aangeraai om eers 'n wyse en gelisensieerde dokter te raadpleeg oor die korrekte gebruik daarvan, asook moontlike kontraindikasies en newe-effekte.

Hospitale is gratis. Hulle betaal u nie vir enige behandeling nie, maar dit is gebruiklik om 'n bydrae aan te bied as u die middele het. In openbare staatshospitale is dit nou onwettig vir enige hospitaalwerknemer om betaling te ontvang of selfs daarvoor te vra. Dit sluit nie privaat gesondheidsorgfasiliteite of medisyne in nie.

Sonblok word aanbeveel in die noorde van die land, waar die hitte intens kan wees met 38 ° C (100 ° F) wat in sommige gebiede algemeen voorkom. Hitte-uitslag, uitdroging en sonbranderye is algemeen vir besoekers wat die eerste keer besoek.

Respek

Argentyne is baie innemende mense wat binne minute nadat hulle iemand ontmoet het, baie persoonlike vrae kan vra, en hulle sal verwag dat u weer sal beantwoord. As u dit nie doen nie, dui dit op belangstelling in die ander persoon.

Moenie aanstoot neem as iemand u 'n 'boludo' / 'boluda' noem nie. Alhoewel dit 'n vloekwoord is, beteken dit ook 'kerel' / 'maat' / 'maat'. Argentynse mense is berug oor die hoeveelheid vloeke wat hulle doen, dus let op die vloek as u met hulle praat. As Argentiniërs gek is, jou terg of met jou spot, sal jy aan die uitdrukking van hul gesig of die stemtoon sien, en selfs meer vloek as gewoonlik.

Moenie aanstoot neem as 'n Argentyn dinge op 'n direkte manier vir u sê nie: dit is baie gebruiklik onder plaaslike inwoners en soms beledig buitelanders. Argentiniërs is baie emosioneel en passievol, beide as hulle goed en sleg vertel aan enigiemand.

Groete

Wangsoen is baie algemeen in Argentinië, veral in groter stede, tussen en tussen vroue en mans. Mense maak kontak met regterwange, en maak 'n ligte "soengeluid", maar raak nie die wang met hul lippe nie (net een keer, twee soene - regs en dan links - is baie skaars). Wanneer twee vroue, of teenoorgestelde geslagte die eerste keer ontmoet, is dit nie ongewoon om te soen nie. Twee mans sal eers handdruk as hulle mekaar nie ken nie, maar sal waarskynlik soen wanneer hulle vertrek, veral as hulle 'n rukkie gepraat het. Manlike vriende se wang soen elke keer as hulle groet, dit is soos 'n teken van vertroue. Om te probeer handdruk as 'n soen aangebied word, sal as vreemd beskou word, maar nooit onbeskof nie, veral nie as u 'n duidelike vreemdeling is nie.

In die res van die land is gereelde handdruk van toepassing. Ook vroue sal groet deur te soen soos hierbo beskryf, maar dit is gereserveer vir ander vroue en mans waarmee hulle vertroud is.

Sokker

Soos in 'n groot deel van Suid-Amerika, beskou baie mense sokker as net 'n ander sportsoort

Aangesien sommige Argentiniërs hardnekkige sokkerliefhebbers is, moet u dit vermy om sokkertruie te dra, aangesien u teenstanders van 'n span in 'n slegte omgewing teëkom. U kan Europese sokkerklubtruie dra met die naam van 'n Argentynse speler agterop (byvoorbeeld: 'n Manchester City-trui met die naam van Tevez, 'n Barcelona-trui met die naam van Mascherano, ens.). As u regtig 'n trui wil dra, is die veiligste plan om 'n Argentinië Wêreldbeker-trui te dra. Die Perú nasionale sokkerkleure (en trui-ontwerp) is amper identies aan dié van die plaaslike span River Plate, wees dus versigtig om misverstande te voorkom. Vermy ook dra Brasilië of Engeland nasionale span truie, want Argentiniërs het 'n baie hewige wedywering met hierdie lande wat dikwels tot geweld kan lei.

Stiptelikheid en persepsies van tyd

Argentyne neem oor die algemeen 'n ontspanne houding teenoor tyd in. Dit kan onrusbarend wees vir besoekers uit lande waar stiptelikheid hoog op prys gestel word. U moet verwag dat u Argentynse kontakte sal wees ten minste 10 tot 15 minute laat vir enige afspraak. Dit word in Argentinië as normaal beskou en beteken nie 'n gebrek aan respek vir die verhouding nie. Dit is natuurlik nie van toepassing op besigheidsvergaderings nie.

As u uitgenooi word na 'n ete of partytjie om, byvoorbeeld, 21:00, beteken dit nie dat u om 21:00 teenwoordig moet wees nie, maar dat u nie voor 21:00 moet arriveer nie. U sal daarna enige tyd verwelkom word. Om een ​​uur te laat na 'n partytjie te kom, is normaalweg goed en soms verwag.

Hierdie houding strek ook na alle geskeduleerde aktiwiteite in Argentinië. Toneelstukke, konserte begin gewoonlik ongeveer 'n halfuur na die vasgestelde tyd. Langafstandbusse vertrek egter betyds. Kortafstand-openbare vervoer soos stadsbusse en die metro steur hulle nie eens aan tydsberamings nie; hulle kom aan as hulle aankom! Bereken hierdie elemente in u berekeninge van hoe lank dinge gaan duur.

Vertraagde bus- of treinverbindings is nie ongewoon nie, veral nie in groot stede nie. Dit is normaalweg nie 'n probleem nie, want oor die algemeen sal niemand in elk geval van u verwag om betyds te wees nie. Busverbindings met langafstandverbindings vertrek egter byna altyd betyds (al kom hulle laat aan), moenie op die gebrek aan stiptelikheid reken om u te red as u laat by busterminale aankom nie.

Dinge om te vermy

Vermy praat oor die "Falkland-eilande" (Las Islas Malvinas) insluitend die Falklandoorlog en geskil, met hul Engelse naam. Dit is baie sensitiewe onderwerpe vir baie Argentinië en kan sterk reaksie veroorsaak.

Om die bogenoemde redes moet u nie enige Engelse en Britse simbole dra nie. Engelse en Britse vlae sowel as Engelse nasionale sokkertoppe moet beslis vermy word.

Vermy praat oor die Perón- en Kirchner-jare en ook oor politiek, die militêre junta en godsdiens in die algemeen.

Vermy die vergelyking van Argentinië met sy bure, Brasilië en Chili, omdat hulle as mededingers beskou word, veral op ekonomiese gebied.

Vermy die vergelyking van plaaslike voedsel. Dit kan ook 'n sensitiewe onderwerp wees, aangesien resepte en sleutelbestanddele van provinsie tot provinsie verskil.

Argentyne is trots op hul beesvleis, en om ketchup of braaisous op 'n biefstuk te vra, is oneerbiedig. U moet vra vir salsa criolla of chimichurri.

Huwelik van dieselfde geslag is sedert 2010 wettig, en Buenos Aires is LGBT-vriendelik genoeg dat dit die "gay hoofstad van Latyns-Amerika" genoem word. Maar in klein dorpies, of in die meer konserwatiewe noorde van die land, kan sommige mense (veral ouer geslagte) geskok wees deur openbare vertoon van homoseksuele geneentheid.

Generaal

Godsdienstige terreine: Mense hoef nie hul koppe te bedek wanneer hulle in 'n kerk of tempel ingaan nie; die dra van 'n kortbroek, minirompe en moulose hemde, sowel as 'n noue fisieke kontak tussen geslagte, word nie aangemoedig nie.

Strand: Om toploos te sonbaai, is nie 'n algemene gebruik nie, hoewel u wel klere op die strand kan aantrek.

Kuberkafee met openbare telefone in Rosario

Per telefoon

U kan 'n voorafbetaalde Movistar / Claro / Persoonlike SIM-kaart vir 'n paar pesos / gratis by telefoonwinkels kry. U betaal slegs ongeveer ARS20 (ongeveer US $ 5) vir u aanvanklike krediete. Die invoeging van die SIM-kaart in u ontgrendelde selfoon moet werk, maar om die SIM te registreer, moet u moontlik u paspoortnommer (of enige 9-syfer) nommer invoer - u het dan u persoonlike Argentynse telefoonnommer, wat baie handig is om kontak met te hou. ander reisigers, hetsy deur te bel of deur sms'e te skryf. Oproepe kos ongeveer ARS1 per minuut. Die SIM-kaart hoef nog steeds te registreer, is uiters skaars.

Die ontvangs van oproepe is gewoonlik gratis, behalwe vir internasionale oproepe, en sommige oproepe oor die netwerk / interstedelike oproepe - dus is dit nie die moeite werd om 'n SIM-kaart te koop bloot om kontak met mense in die buiteland te hou nie.

Om te herlaai, kan u klein kaarte met geheime nommers by baie kiosks koop, maar die maklikste manier is om "Recarga Virtual" te vra en u telefoonnommer en maatskappy en die hoeveelheid pesos wat u wil herlaai, aan die winkelassistent te vertel.

Nie verwant aan selfone nie, daar is soortgelyke kaarte met krediete vir internasionale oproepe. U kry dit by sogenaamde locutorios, waar u ook die telefoonhokkies kan gebruik. U skakel 'n gratis nommer om aan te sluit by die diens, dan u geheime nommer vir die krediete en dan die internasionale telefoonnommer wat u wil skakel. Met behulp van hierdie kaarte sal 'n oproep van een uur na Europa ongeveer 10 Pesos (3 Amerikaanse dollars) kos. Moet nie bel sonder sulke kaarte of selfs van u hotel af nie - dit sal baie duurder wees.

Die telefoonnommerplan in Argentinië is hopeloos ingewikkeld vir buitelanders. Lees die Wikipedia-artikel daaroor om meer te wete te kom.

Deur die internet

Die meeste kafees en restaurante bied gratis WiFi met 'n advertensie in hul vensters. Al wat u hoef te doen is om 'n koffie te koop en die wagwoord te vra. Publieke WiFi is ook baie algemeen in Buenos Aires met 'n groot spoed. Die netwerknaam sal BA Wifi wees
