Climate
It is usually cool in Buenos Aires from March to November (15°C Average). It also may be a little bit cold during July and August (winter). The climate can be a little bit dry, but ocean storms bring humidity to the countryside.
In the Northwest, near the province of Salta, temperature is about 18°C average from March to November with max. 25 to 28°C. It is colder by night as well as in the higher
mountains (3000 to 4000 meters). During this period, the region
is generally dry.
Time
GMT -3.
Currency
The local currency is the peso. One euro is about 4 pesos
and one Usd is about 3 pesos. It is not necessary to travel
with a lot of cash (pesos or dollars). Visa, MasterCard or American
express are accepted everywhere.
Customs
To enter the country, only a passport is needed.
Health
Nothing is compulsory concerning vaccination. Being vaccinate
against Hepatitis B is recommended. And an important point:
do not drink water of the tap.
Food
Argentina is well known for its wines, produced mainly in the province of Mendoza, near The Andes, and… the beef! Ask for a "bife de chorizo" or "lomo"! In Patagonia, try the lamb barbecue, a trout from the lakes and a Pacific salmon.
If you are vegetarian, don't worry, Argentina is a great fruit and vegetable producer, you will find variety and quality at very low prices.
