My zone is pretty safe, You just have to know wich parts of Buenos Aires You have to avoid. I love near Palermo, Paternal, Villa Crespo. But if you go to Constitución, San Telmo, La Boca, etc You have to take good care of yourself.

Buenos Aires is a safe city throughout the Capital Federal (or Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) area. Everything related to the metropolitan area depends largely on the area. I don't recommend walking or going out alone after 8 p.m., unless you're in the city center.

Hello! Tucuman is a very large city, like in any city, the safety depends on the area you are in. Generally, it is calm in the area where we live. It is very nice and lively!! You shouldn't move around alone very late at night, and other than that, during the day, take care of your belongings, lock with keys, take care of your phone, and those kinds of things.

I feel safe, but I also move around cautiously. I'm aware. Policemen are everywhere and their presence is reassuring. I live here and have never experienced anything dangerous. However, I stay observant and not distracted. Public transport is safe.

buenos Aires is a very big city. Specially when you are in the center of the city, take care of your personal items and pockets. Be aware or your phone mostly. People are very friendly and will always be available to help you

I traveled alone and I think it's very safe. But of course, we always have to stay wake up. You have to stay in the center, where are the tourists. I didn't like to be some streets far because there are no people

Sierra de la Ventana, Solo travel
I was in Sierra for about five days. It was my first solo trip. I really enjoyed it. There are many things to do, and there are several small towns nearby: Sierra de la Ventana, Villa Ventana, and Torquinst. I recommend trekking to Cerro Ventana; it's beautiful.

Jujuy, Solo travel
When I visited Jujuy, I had been traveling Argentina for some time and people kept telling me I needed to visit. I stayed at Los Tarcos Guesthouse. At the time, it was managed by a very friendly woman who made me feel safe and comfortable and provided excellent recommendations for things to do. Since I was alone, I opted for guided tours and the host of Los Tarcos gave me great recommendations of affordable and reputable tour companies to use. I mostly walked around and felt safe doing so, but obviously, always be vigilant.
