Moving Around Argentina |
| If
you decide to travel Argentina
and move around this amazing country, you should know the following
peculiarities of the transport system in this country. The cheapest
kind
of transport for moving
around Argentina is the train. But you should
be
aware of advantages and drawbacks of trains during your travel
Argentina. Moving around Argentina by train, you assuredly visit the
most part of the
best places in Argentina, but during your journey you
will face with such problems as frequent delays and breakdowns.
Though there is a lot of trains around Buenos Aires, they
are always
crowded, because of the cheap fear. If you are choosing among the
train tours in
Argentina, we advise you the
Tren a las Nubes (Train to the Clouds) train tour, during which you
visit the province Salta that is located in the north-west of
Argentina.
Moving
around Argentina by bus is more comfortable than by train and cheaper
than by car. You should buy your ticket several days before your
travel at the city bus stations. The center of bus system is Buenos
Aires' Terminal de Omnibus Retiro. The price of one ticket is $3 per
hour of trip approximately. The network of regional bus
service is wider than train tours, so you'd better choose bus in order
to
travel Argentina from town to town. A colectivo is a city bus, a
micro is town-to-town bus. But these terms are used in Buenos Aires,
and may change their meaning in provincial areas. If you have to
travel a distance longer
than 200km, in order to go sightseeings
and
admire all the attractions of Argentina, the bus service
offers you
food on board, and you also may rest in the camas (seats, that can be
install
horizontally)
You
can hire a car throughout Argentina, but you should know that this
kind of transport is more expensive than buses or trains. So, moving
around Argentina by car during 3 days will cost you $179.40 for
Peugeot 206 3/5dr, or $238.05 - $431.25 for Volkswagen Golf
5dr. You
should be very cautious, while moving around Argentina by car,
because the highway traffic is very chaotic in this country. Running
red lights are ignored as well as speed limits. The highways are
only in the big cities, while gravel and dirt roads are all over the
country. So your driving skills have to be excellent to travel
Argentina by car. There are controles policiales ("police
checkpoints") in the boarders of every province. They may stop
you in order to check your registration papers and drivers' licenses.
The police may also demand subornation for passage. So drive slowly
when you pass by the controles policiales.
