Rules in force · 6Large bags go by car from door to door
- 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 area ↗For Colonia by ferry, carry your passport and check the ferry's check-in time and the return on your ticket.
- Buenos Aires ↗Keep the phone out of hand and off café tables near the kerb: snatch theft from passing mopeds happens in busy areas.
- Buenos Aires ↗Large bags go by car from door to door: never on the subte or on a walk, because of crowds and theft.

Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Take the taxi from the official rank outside arrivals, or a ride-hailing car from the marked pickup point, straight to the door.
- Precision
- AEP is on the river in the north of the city: the taxi rank is outside arrivals (field-verify). Most flights are domestic; regional flights use the same terminal.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00

If it breaks
- Send your flight number and hotel name to the hotel before you fly and ask for a night-desk or key-box instructions.
- Use the official rank or a ride-hailing pickup point; decline drivers who approach you in the hall.
- Domestic flights often use AEP and international ones EZE: check which airport your ticket names.
- Check the fare and keep small pesos for the driver.
