| DRIVING IN ARGENTINA |
| Travelling by car is a good way to explore Argentina,
and visit attractions hard to reach with
public transportation.
You may drive with a license of your country, though it is recommended that you take an international driver’s license with you. Argentina generally recognizes valid drivers' licenses from foreign jurisdictions, though drivers must be over 21. Along the 'rutas' (the provinces bordering other countries), the police frequently have police checkpoints to check insurance and registration papers and drivers' licenses. These checkpoints may also involve inspection of the trunk for contraband and a mandatory two peso fee for "disinfection" or "de-insectifying" the car's underside by driving it over a mechanical sprayer that either sprays water or does nothing. |
| Traffic regulations in Argentina are generally the same
as those around the world, though local drivers often ignore the
regulations. It is mandatory to the car lights on while driving on the roads
and highway, even during the daytime. Most of the roads in Argentina are in good condition. But there are also dirt roads, especially off the main roads and in the south of the country. It is always good to road map during your trip. |
| The maximum speed limit is 60 km/h in the city, 40 km/h
on side roads and 100 - 130 km/h to 130 km/h on highways. Highways are limited to the areas around large cities. Most of the country is connected by paved unlit two-lane roads (rutas) shared by buses, cars, and large trucks. Some places are accessible only by dirt roads. |
| BUS |
| Argentina boasts an outstanding short and long-distance
bus network, with international bus services from the neighboring countries.
Bus travel is the most common way to travel from city to city within
Argentina. For long distance bus trips, it is wise to buy a ticket several days in advance of your trip date. These long distance buses are called Micro. |
| Buenos Aires |
| Retiro Bus Terminal (Terminal de Omnibus de Retiro),
located just behind Retiro train and Subte stations in Buenos Aires, is the
hub of this network with up to 2,000 bus arrivals and departures per day.
There is a second bus terminal in Buenos Aires is situated in the neighborhood Liniers, but it is smaller and less accessible than the one in Retiro. There are over 150 city bus lines called Colectivos, that cover a far wider area than the underground system in a city. Colectivos in Buenos Aires passes by about 4 or more times per hour. Their inexpensive tickets makes this system the most popular mode of transport around the city. Cost is about $4-$5 for each hour of traveling. |
Argentina By RAILWAY |
The
 rail
network is very limited offering one or two departures weekly. Intercity
buses give better service and faster rides. Train fares are fairly cheap.The three largest train terminals in Buenos Aires are Retiro, Constitucion and Once. Retiro is actually three train stations alongside each other with the main long distance bus terminal close by. Ferrocentral train service departs from Buenos Aires twice weekly to Tucumán and twice weekly to Córdoba. |
| TAXIS |
| Taxis are easily identified by their black color and yellow rooftops. Pay attention to the fare counter to see the exact end fare amount. Tipping is not expected unless travelling with luggage. Radio-link companies provide reliable and safe service; and some even offer incentives for frequent users. |
| FERRIES |
| Ferry service is often used by Argentine and Uruguayan passengers. Daily services run between Buenos Aires and Uruguay (the most common destinations are Colonia, Montevideo, Piriápolis and Punta del Este). The ferry company, Buquebus, connects the port of Buenos Aires with the main cities of Uruguay, such as, Colonia del Sacramento, Montevideo and Punta del Este. |
