Argentina is a popular tourist destination in South America because of its many attractions. Traveling by air to Argentina is perhaps the first choice of travelers from outside of South America. You can also travel by bus wihich feels like 1st class travel but air travel is much cheaper. But before you go ahead and visit these Argentina tourist attractions. There are a few tips that you need to know as an eager traveler to this foreign country. And you should know that Aerolíneas Argentinas is Argentina’s national airline company.
This airline company accepts passes from Mercosur Airpass which are only valid for use in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. Other Argentinean airline companies that accept air passes from Mercosur are Aerolíneas Del Sur, VARIG Airlines, and Pluna. If you are going to see all of the things to do in Argentina and use these passes, you have to book international flights to Argentina with these airline companies. Mercosur air passes expire after 45 days so use them up as soon as you get them and you will enjoy amazing discounts with the air fares.
The second tip has something to do with the baggage that you plan to carry with you because Argentina’s customs have set a limit on the amount of certain products that you can carry. Among these are: 300 USD dollar limit in gifts, 400 cigarette sticks and 50 cigars, 2 liters of alcohol, 5 kilograms in weight of food, and 2 bottles of perfume. These limits are set for travelers 18 years old and above. Younger travelers can bring half of the amount of all these.
Third, when you reach Argentina and plan to travel within the city by land using rental cars, thereare speed limits. Like on motorways, the maximum speed limit is 130 kilometers per hour. Airlines in Argentina have become a lot more strict on these restrictions. On roads with one lane, the speed limit is lower at 80 kilometers per hour. The lowest speed limit set is on the country’s busiest areas where vehicles are only allowed to run at 40 to 60 kilometers per hour.
