Quick Tip(s) from the Locals

Southern South America

Although Argentina is safe for those who wish to travel alone, it is always a preferable move around with a radio taxi or an Uber at night. A SUBE card (for public transport) works best to save money. And who knows maybe you are in for a lot of free rides and guides to go to your favourite places!
