Solo Female Travel in Argentina

Couple travel experience

I feel totally safe and comfortable going around the different cities in Argentina. From the Salta region to Patagonia, across the center of the country until Buenos Aires. No judgement from locals, no cat calling and I never listen to bad words o found a difficult situation.

Solo travel experience

I traveled to Bariloche, and I felt safe as a solo traveller. The weather was not very cooperative, but I managed to see wonderful places. Cerro Campanario has the best views by far. It is easy and cheap to take bus 20 from the center. I would also recommend to visit the Llao Llao cafeteria for gorgeous views. To enjoy the lakes I would recommend a boat tour to Bosque de Arrayanes. The food was great. Argentina has the best meat in the world, but also yummy cakes and chocolates. For best ice cream I recommend Mamushka.

Solo travel experience

I went to Argentina alone. I embarked on a combined horseback and hiking expedition in the Patagonia region, with a several-day stay in Buenos Aires. I felt very safe. The locals advised me to stay away from a certain area of Buenos Aires, but all the time, throughout the country, I felt very comfortable. It's beautiful and the food is great.

Solo travel experience

I went to Mendoza and visited the vineyards. Then I went to Cordoba and went on a walking tour. Next, Puerto Iguazu, where I crossed the border with Brazil to see the waterfall from both sides (the Argentine side is better, but both are amazing - I could spend a few days there). Then I went to Buenos Aires and I really liked it there. I went on walking tours, visited markets, and enjoyed tango lessons. I crossed the border into Uruguay for a few days. I was travelling alone, using public buses.

Solo travel experience

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

Family travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

I stayed in Buenos Aires for 3 days. It was sufficient for me. Great city. Then I flew to Bariloche. From there, I took a bus south to Patagonia. I met other women and we spent time together. I loved Patagonia.

Couple travel experience

We visited Argentina last summer. We stayed in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Mendoza. It was a very fun and adventurous trip. We almost exclusively used the Blue Dollar rate, sending money to ourselves via Western Union. I was very uncertain about bringing such a large amount of cash into the country and dealing with seemingly suspicious people involved in cambio (although many people manage this fine). We were able to pay for our hotels in pesos, which saved us a lot of money. We had no problem getting taxis, which were also very cheap. Our highlights in Buenos Aires included Caminito in La Boca, Recoleta, and a bike ride through the parks of Palermo. And the food was amazing - empanadas and dulce de leche. It also surprised me how enormous this city is and how few English-speaking tourists are there.

Solo travel experience

I went to Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Mendoza in Argentina, and then I took a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay and spent the weekend there, and then about a week in Montevideo. I never felt unsafe - I stayed with an old friend in Montevideo, though I mostly roamed around alone.

Solo travel experience

I loved Argentina. Mendoza, for its beautiful views of the countryside (don't miss Aconcagua) and plenty of vineyards. Ushuaia - the end of the world and the "penguin island". Calafate for the Glacier National Park. Buenos Aires is such a wonderful city in every way - there is so much to do and see. Salta/Jujuy for Puramarca (hill of seven colors), Tilcara, Humahuaca, Salt Flats.

Argentina is going through an economic crisis. Some places are safer than others but overall, if you are foreign, I recommend being accompanied by someone who lives or has traveled to Argentina before.
