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?

Travel safety index

4.3 /5

based on 63 experiences from female travelers

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 ☀️😎

Buenos Aires, Couple travel

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! 🇦🇷❤️‍🔥

San Carlos de Bariloche

Bariloche is safe, but you have to pay attention to some things, like not leaving valious stuff on the car. Or not leaving your things un attendant. Or be careful at nigh if you are solo walking in not very nice neiborhood

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is generally a safe city but it depends on where you are. If you stay and move around barrios like Belgrano, Palermo and Ricoleta, it is as safe to walk alone as a woman during night as in any other big city.

San Carlos de Bariloche

Quite quiet and safe, you can go at night without problems and it's a good place to come on a trip alone You always have to be careful in Argentina anyway but this city is characterised by kindness and security

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 !

About me

I consider myself a citizen of the world, but especially a South American. I've lived all my life in Argentina, was born in Brazil and my granny is from Paraguay (one of the few countries in South America I still need to visit). I like to learn from the environment in which I move. In these years of travel and life, I learned that life is too short to try to be someone else than myself, every day I'm working on avoiding expectations and accepting things as they are. I like to do meditation, walk in the mountains, be near nature, do things I've never done before and learn from them, have deep conversations about life with people I don't know, be near places, situations and people that might be extremely different from me but I can learn from those differences. I've been traveling with my husband for 7 years and a year ago we decided to buy a house in our country Argentina next to the mountains in Merlo San Luis. When we travel we don't like conquering the must-see places when we travel and follow the touristic path everyone does. Our success in travel is to understand each culture well enough and mingle with the locals. We prefer going to places locals would go, discover new places in that way, and end up on a birthday or wedding rather than just visiting those really impressive places packed with tourists. That's also why we love hitchhiking, staying in local's houses and meeting them randomly so much, because we end up knowing places we never expected to visit, meeting people we didn't expect to meet and always learning new ways of life, traditions and also in a way learning more about ourselves. Otherwise we just visit places but we don't go through a real inner transformation, adapting to new culture and rules is something magical. By the way, I'm a translator as a profession but it's been many years I'm teaching Spanish and host a podcast to teach Argentine culture and traditions.
