TRANSPORTATION
The radio-taxi system works well and are represented by white and blue vehicles. We recommend ordering a taxi service through the hotel staff. If you prefer, you can also hail one from the street. All radio taxis (white and blue) work with meters. Avoid paying with large bills. If smaller notes are not available, pay careful attention to the number that stretches across the top right corner of every bill before handing it over to the driver. Some taxi drivers will try and swap your money with a fake note, but if you have know the number of the bill you just gave him, you will have a better chance of getting your money back. Large notes come in, 200, 500 and 1000 peso denominations.

SAFETY
Bariloche is a safe city. If you do find time to explore on your own, below are some key precautions to take:
- Request a taxi service through the hotel staff.
- Wear your backpack/bag to the front when walking through bigger crowds.
- Do not carry your wallet in the back pocket of your trousers.
- Avoid wearing fancy jewelry.
- Leave original documents, credit cards in the hotel safe box, taking the bare minimum of cash with you. It’s always a good idea to hide cash in different parts of your clothes.
- A neck/waist money belt can be very handy to keep cash hidden.
- In restaurant/cafes, do not hang your bag/backpack on the arm of the chairs or leave it sitting on the floor.
- Always take note of the serial numbers of your larger bills (ie: 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Argentinean Pesos) before paying taxi drivers and small shops. There were a few cases where travelers were told their bills were fake. By taking note of the serial numbers before use, you stand a better chance of getting your money back.
- At night, always walk on well lit streets.
- Withdraw cash only during the day and from ATMs located inside banks or guarded ATMs.
- Cover ATMs keyboard with one hand when typing your pin number.
- Do not get into a car by someone’s invitation, even if it's a police car.
