HEALTH AND CERTIFICATIONS
Argentina does not require any vaccination certificates from travelers to enter the country. However, travelers should stay up-to-date on their vaccines, especially when traveling through Misiones (Iguazu Falls), Formosa, Corrientes, El Chaco, Salta and Jujuy. Recommended vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, hepatitis A, B, typhoid, rabies and yellow fever vaccine.

Is the Zika virus a risk in Argentina and Brazil?
Even though Zika virus (or Zika) has been vanished from Argentina and Brazil with no more cases reported. Travellers, especially pregnant women, the partners of pregnant women, and those considering pregnancy, should check with their doctor first before taking a trip to Argentina. Along with Zika, travelers must also protect themselves against dengue and chikungunya, both which are also transmitted by mosquitos.

Recommendations from the Argentinean Ministry of Health:

Apply mosquito repellent every 3 hours especially when walking around
Spray mosquito repellent on tables, bed skirts, etc.

SAFETY
Puerto de Iguazú 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.

TRANSPORTATION
The radio-taxi system works well. We recommend ordering a taxi service through the hotel staff. If you prefer, you can also hail one from the street. All radio taxis (black & yellow) 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 1,000 peso denominations.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
We strongly promote responsible travel. You can minimize the impact on local cultures, the environment and turn the negative aspects of tourism into positive aspects. We believe you can make a difference.
