I went to Argentina alone. I went for a combination of horseback riding and hiking trip in the Patagonia region with a few days in Buenos Aires. I felt very safe. I was advised by locals to stay away from a particular area of Buenos Aires but felt very comfortable throughout the country. It is beautiful and the food is wonderful.

I went to Mendoza and did wine tours. Then went to Cordoba and did a walking tour. Then Puerto Iguazu and I crossed over to Brazil to see the waterfall from both sides (the Argentinian side is better but both are incredible - I could have spent days here). Then I went to Buenas Aires, and really enjoyed it there. Did walking tours, visited markets, and enjoyed tango classes. I crossed over to Uraguay for a couple of days. I traveled solo on public buses.

Argentina is a very cool country and there’s a lot to visit. Jujuy, Salta, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza, Bariloche. Buenos Aires and Cordoba were my favorite cities. You need to have cash because not all places accept credit cards. I traveled alone and I didn’t have any problem but it’s not the safest country I have visited.

Great budget-friendly country with lots of different programs for different ages. Really kind people and nice weather. I really enjoyed walking around the town but I must advise that the public transportation (specially the subway) is not well taken care of.

I stayed in Buenos Aires for 3 days. That was enough for me. Great city. Then I flew to Bariloche. From there I took a bus down to Patagonia. I met other women and we hung out. I loved Patagonia.

We visited Argentina last summer. We stayed in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Mendoza. It was a very fun and adventure-filled trip. We used the Blue Dollar rate almost exclusively by sending money to ourselves at Western Union. I was very leery of carrying that much cash into the country and dealing with seemingly sketchy cambio people (although many people maneuver that just fine). We were able to pay for our hotels in pesos which saved us a tremendous amount of money. We had no problem getting cabs and they were also very inexpensive. Our highlights in Buenos Aires were Caminito in La Boca, Recoleta, and a bike ride in the parks of Palermo. And the food was wonderful - empanadas and dulce de leche. I was also surprised by how huge the city is and the very few English-speaking tourists.

I went to Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Mendoza in Argentina, and took a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay and stayed there for a weekend, then about a week in Montevideo. I never felt at all unsafe - I was staying with an old friend in Montevideo, which even though I was mostly wandering about by myself.

I loved Argentina. Mendoza for beautiful countryside views (don't miss Aconcagua) and tons of wineries. Ushuaia - end of the world and "penguin island". Calafate for the glacier national Park. Buenos Aires is such a great city all around - so much to do and see. Salta/jujiy for Puramarca (hill of 7 colors), Tilcara, Humahuaca, Salt flats.

Beautifull places, great hikes and a lot of nature. Also a lot of small cute cities you can just wander around. Very safe when traveling alone and I did almost everything with (night) busses.
