Although it's always useful to learn a bit of the local language in Argentina before you go, sometimes we get a bit lost in translation.<\/p>\n
Before you arrive in Argentina, remember these 15 things as a step ahead of the scammers and have fun.<\/p>\n
Matt Lewis, from i-to-i, recommends that travelers check their 100 peso notes before handing them over to vendors.<\/p>\n
\"They can claim it's counterfeit, even if it isn't, and return a counterfeit note! Besides, coins are like gold.<\/p>\n
It's hard to get change anywhere and you can't get on a bus without coins!\"<\/p>\n
Martina Grossi says that 100-dollar peso notes would hardly allow you to pay for anything these days, now it's the equivalent of US $ 6.<\/p>\n
Argentina has been in a constant process of inflation for years. From US $ 1 = 1 peso in the 1990s, to US $ 1 = US $ 18 pesos in 2017.<\/p>\n
Augustina Marmol, from the Dolomite Mountains, says to avoid demonstrations:<\/p>\n
\"they happen very regularly in Buenos Aires and can occasionally get a bit violent.\"<\/p>\n
There are a few places in the city that are the focal point of the protests.<\/p>\n
If there are any problems, it will be here.<\/p>\n
Violent crime is extremely rare and there are smaller cities in Argentina that are considered safer than Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
There was an increase in violent repression during the demonstrations throughout 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n
If you choose to stay, blend in with the marchers and you'll be fine.<\/p>\n
People are very cooperative and look after each other, but yes, things can certainly get out of hand quickly.<\/p>\n
Not that it's recommended that you stay nearby, but if you want a \"cultural experience\" or agree with the cause.<\/p>\n
Follow your instincts to stay safe and take as few belongings as possible with you.<\/p>\n
Whatever you do, don't stay until the end. That's when the trouble starts.<\/p>\n
Martina Grossi has been taking part in demonstrations since she was a teenager, \"and I've always felt safe, but I've always been very cautious.<\/p>\n
I recommend following the news to be aware of strikes and protests.<\/p>\n
Public transport, airports and other institutions may stop working when they start. \"<\/p>\n
She also says that, unfortunately, violent muggings are quite common - especially in the city of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
Christina Tunnah, from World Nomads, says that you'll find large packs of dogs around some bus stations, so be careful.<\/p>\n
\"Most of the time they don't bother you, but it's always better to travel with a friend. Power in numbers!<\/p>\n
You'll also find a lot of dog poop on the streets, so watch your feet when you walk!<\/p>\n
You can use this card for everything. The easiest way to get one is at the \"Kiosco\", otherwise you'll pay almost double the cost of the trip.<\/p>\n
If you want to get to know Buenos Aires, stay at least a few weeks. Get used to the culture, the people and see all the sites.<\/p>\n
Many people fly in and out to see the Iguazu Falls, or head north or south to explore incredible landscapes.<\/p>\n
By following travel safety advice and avoiding rogue areas, there is plenty to see and do in the city.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
