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.

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.

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 ☀️😎

My experience in Buenos Aires was amazing! It was my second time in the city and I loved it even more. I met wonderful people, ate delicious food, and enjoyed walking around beautiful places. I felt safe in all the areas I visited. Buenos Aires has such great energy. — I can’t wait to go back! 🇦🇷❤️🔥

Buenos Aires
Buenos aires is a very safe city - however, like any other place you have to beware of your surroundings at night and dont use your phone too lightly in the subway or public transport in general - villa crespo, caballito, nuñez, recoleta, belgrano are your safe destinations- palermo is popular but not too safe since its very touristy - avoid scammers at obelisco and avoid going to Retiro station since there is a villa (slum) next to it- also avoid train stations in general- san telmo is beautiful but make sure you dont walk around at night

There’s quite a bit of pickpockets, but if you avoid certain areas you’ll be safe. Neighborhoods like Palermo, Belgrano and Recoleta are very safe. Palermo is particularly packed with tourists. Avoid neighborhoods like Matadero and Lugano.

Overall, I feel very safe here in Buenos Aires, especially Palermo, where you can walk around without a problem, even at night. You have to be a little more mindful in the center and La Boca regarding pickpockets.

San Juan I safely in regular basis, you just need to know that there areas far no the and far south that are very dangerous mainly at night, and also some times during day time. The safest is to move around the capital city area y surroundings.

Buenos Aires is overall safe (considering that it is located in Latin America). The only thing you seriously need to pay attention to is theft. Do not leave valuable belongings unattended, avoid showing off valuable items, such as expensive accesories or handbags, and try to keep your phone out of sight as much as possible. If you need to check an address or respond to any messages, get inside a shop. While pickpocketing is unfortunately common, violent theft and violent crimes in general are unusual. These would be my tips for female solo travellers if they choose to visit Buenos Aires. I...

About me
Hi, I'm french but I live in Mendoza, Argentina. I'm 39, I've been living here for 5 years and really love it ! I'm a french teacher online and I'm learning Portuguese. I hope to be able to visit Brazil one day, and I'd love to visit other countries such as Colombia or Uruguay. I really enjoy meeting new people and get to know them and about their culture. I also love cooking so we might exchange national/traditional recipes ? I love dancing, especially Bachata. I don't smoke or drink alcohol (but my friends would not say I'm boring 😁). I'm a 🫑vegetarian 🥦 but it's a personal choice. We can talk about it as long as nobody tries to make the others change their mind 😁 I try to be a decent ally to LGBTQIA+ community, if it annoys you, it's not ok to me. Hope to meet you soon !
