HEALTH AND CERTIFICATIONS
The Patagonia region is sprawled across two countries, Argentina and Chile. Both countries do 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.

SAFETY
All cities that you will be traveling through on this tour are very safe. If you do find time to explore on your own in the city of Buenos Aires, below are some key precautions to take:

Request a taxi service through the hotel staff. UBER is available in major cities.
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 jewellery.
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 armchairs or leave it sitting on the floor.
Always take note of the serial numbers of your larger bills (ie: 200, 500 and 1000 Argentinean Pesos before paying taxi drivers. There were a few cases where travellers were told their bills were fake. By taking note of the serial numbers before paying, you can catch the fraud.
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 and is represented by black and yellow vehicles in major cities. If you prefer to hail one from the street, call a radio taxi (black & yellow), all taxis work with meters. Avoid paying with large bills. The easy local transportation available in Buenos Aires is the underground which works in straight lines. A card is needed calling SUBE which you can purchase at most metro stations.

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