Is Argentina safe for solo female travelers?

Argentina is generally a safe country, with friendly people and a rich culture to explore. However, as a solo female traveler, there might be areas that could be of concern. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and bag snatching are prevalent in major cities and tourist destinations. There's a need to be cautious, especially when traveling alone at night. Positive common sense, avoidance of suspicious areas, and keeping your belongings secure would generally facilitate a safe journey.

Iguazú National Park, Solo travel

Iguazu Falls are magnificent. There's a section in Argentina where you're above the falls. Then there's a section in Brazil where you see the falls from the opposite side; it's breathtaking. There are also options to see the falls by boat or to fly over them by helicopter.

San Carlos de Bariloche, Solo travel

I felt very save in Bariloche. I was on a backpacker budget, the hostels were very cheap, the restaurants are moderate pricey. I did a biketour which was nice, like that you can see a lot from the area.

Mendoza, Solo travel

I just love Mendoza. I've been living here for almost 5years now. People's VERY friendly, it's a city, but it's not too big so it feels like a village with all city's facilities (to dance at night, to have a drink or go in a fancy coffee shop, bus stations everywhere, great parks...) And it's always sunny here ☀️😎

Rosario

Rosario is my city, and honestly, the security situation has gotten pretty complicated in recent years. There's been a lot of violence related to drug trafficking and disputes between criminal groups fighting over control of routes along the Paraná River. It's been tough to see the homicide rates go up and watch people worry more about safety. That said, the violence is mostly concentrated in certain neighborhoods, and a lot of the city is still pretty safe for everyday life. In day-to-day life, outside of those particular neighborhoods where these problems occur, you don't really see that...

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires's city is very safe but you have to know which neighborhoods you should go. If you are in CABA, then it is more than fine. Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Barrio Norte are incredible safe at night time too but be careful with Microcentro at night

Buenos Aires

Honestly it’s a pretty safe city, the older men are very creepy though like far more than any other city, but they just stare longingly but the vibes are pretty good, the people are somewhat kind and the food is great so yeah!
