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.

How safe is Argentina for solo female travelers?

Argentina, Solo travel

I loved it and I made a close friend here. Eat the pizza! The catedral architecture was very interesting. People keep to themselves so it’s a bit tranquilo. Alfajores taste soooo good, and a little mate always is shared with friends!

It was a rich experience. Crossed the city using a bike. Pretty cool. The stadium, the streets at night, the people. Incredible experience especially as it was new year's eve. Completely recommended and would do it again.

I went to a Rosalia concert!!! It was so much fun. I also tried Pad Thai for the first time and loved it. We went out at night with my friends and it was alright but we were staying in the nicest part of town after all. 10/10 would go back again.

Hi girls! Two weeks ago I was in Bariloche, Argentina and thanks to the app I met Isa, she was great company for dinner and sharing ice cream in the city that's a specialist in chocolates and ice cream 🍫🍦 During the trip I also met Cami and a group of girls from different countries. Honestly, traveling alone is a unique experience; you meet other girls who do it too 🫶🏻 I recommend it ✨

Ciudad de Paraná, Solo travel

Paraná is beautiful, I went near the Costanera, where the duck is. I didn't visit the downtown, we just went along the coast since we wanted to see the river. The fluvial (the bus that takes you from Santa Fe, excellent)

Córdoba, Group travel

It’s an ideal city for university students. There’s a lot of nightlife, many theaters, and plenty of free cultural activities. Do some research on the government’s website and you’ll find hundreds of activities for all ages that are very affordable or even free. The Güemes and Nueva Córdoba areas are perfect for walking around on weekends and at night (bars, pubs, nightclubs, etc). You don't need to be extra careful about safety — try not to walk alone at night — but overall, it’s quite safe

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.

Is Argentina safe for women?

Buenos Aires

It’s a really night active city so over all you are never alone at night but you always have to be cautious with your things, motorcycles robbery it’s the most common way, and try not to be alone at night

I love Santa Fe and I live here since i was born. You have to pay attencion, walk safety and confident, ask people If you need it. I've never been stolen for example. Just take care, like you are in wherever part in the World.

Safe in my personal opinion. Never heared of something. I feel save alone during the day. I don't go out alone after midnight but have been out with friends after midnight and have always felt very save.

Mendoza feels pretty safe overall. Obviously need to be careful walking alone at night because of thieves but just that. During the day is very safe downtown and you can walk with no problem. I feel safer that in Seattle for example

In the centre and yerba buena the safety is oretty okay, but then av roca is dangerous at any hour soecially at night, anywhere outside of the 4 main avenues is unsafe at night and during the day as well. Honestly I still go out during the day alone walking pretty much anywhere (again avenida roca at any hour is pretty common to get followed if you are a girl who looks young)

Buenos Aires

I've been living here for 4 year, and I've just experienced an isolated case of theft, and it was really late at night (3 am) in Constitución. I've heard about theft on Palermo by guys on motorbikes, but I haven't experienced any of it. Just keep your belongings beard and behave as you should in any big city, Buenos Aires is a great city!

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 !
