Generally safe
Buenos Aires and Patagonia by day; normal city careUse caution
Crowded transit, nightlife, and carrying cash or cardsAvoid
Quiet streets late at night and unlicensed street taxisDress as you like; Buenos Aires is fashion-forward and liberal, with no legal dress code.
Pack layers for Patagonia, where weather shifts fast even in summer.
Carry some USD; the economy is volatile with shifting exchange rates.
Use radio taxis or ride-hailing apps rather than flagging cars on the street.
One of the world's most LGBTQ+-friendly countries; same-sex marriage legal since 2010.
Very safe by regional standards; the main risk is petty theft, not violent crime.
