- Argentina ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Argentina's National Migration Directorate (Migraciones) or an Argentine consulate before booking.
- Argentina ↗Exchange rules and the gap between card and cash rates have changed repeatedly: check current advice before deciding whether to bring US dollars or rely on cards.
- Argentina ↗Patagonia (El Calafate, El Chaltén, Ushuaia) is a November–March trip; in winter many services close and hiking is limited.
Buenos Aires is one base and a few excursions. The barrios are close, the ferries to Colonia leave from the port, and moving hotels wastes the mornings; keep one bed, carry a small bag on the day trips, and be back for a late dinner.
