Budget
The official currency of Argentina is the Argentine peso. Be careful, counterfeit 50 or 100 AR$ notes are circulating. You change your euros at the exchange offices (original of the required passport). The peso is experiencing high inflation. Argentina is a cheap destination. It is customary to leave a tip of 10% of the bill. Credit cards are generally accepted in department stores, hotels, restaurants, but if you pay in cash you will get a discount of 10 to 20%
Health
Protect yourself against mosquitoes (malaria, dengue fever, West Nile virus). The Hanta virus exists in Patagonia, particularly in the southern part of the San Carlos de Bariloche region. It is transmitted by rodents through the respiratory tract and causes haemorrhagic fever with sometimes fatal consequences. Stay away from dead animals, animals and their droppings. Do not pet the animals you meet (risk of rabies with dogs). Ensure your road safety (wearing a seat belt, wearing a two-wheeled helmet). Road accidents are a significant risk. Never use medicines purchased on the street. Wash your hands regularly. Pay attention to the quality and proper cooking of food.
