Argentina travel tips

Argentina travel health

Required is not recommended: the first is what the border asks about, the second is what a clinic would suggest. Both, for Argentina, then the number to dial and what care costs a visitor. Applies to every guide in Argentina: Iguazú Falls, Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Ushuaia & Tierra del Fuego, Mendoza.

Required to enter

Nothing. No vaccination certificate is asked for at the border.

Recommended

  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Tetanus up to date

Emergency number

107 for an ambulance, 911 for police

Care for visitors

Good and affordable

Public hospitals treat everyone free of charge, foreigners included, and the standard in Buenos Aires is decent. Private clinics are fast and inexpensive by European standards. Pharmacies are well stocked and pharmacists give real advice.

The general rules — clinic timing, water, mosquitoes, insurance — are in travel health tips.
