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.

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 ☀️😎

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!

I don't think Rosario is unsafe; you just have to know how to handle yourself and not walk around strange places late at night, and especially not alone But you also shouldn't walk around too casually, like you're on your phone in the busiest streets.
Posted: February 24, 2026San Juan
All the downtown area of San Juan, as well as the Capital and Rivadavia districts, are the safest areas. It’s a small city, so after 10 p.m. it’s hard to find public transportation. It’s a calm place — you’ll see grandmothers drinking mate on the sidewalk at night, and children playing in the streets on Sundays in residential neighborhoods. It’s a very peaceful and safe city, but also very traditional, so try not to dress too extravagantly. Also, keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll find...

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

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 !
