Always carry (a copy of) your passport
Off course all travellers have their passports when crossing the Argentinean border. Sometimes we forget to carry one if making day trips or when shopping. I would recommend always to carry a (copy) of your passport when travelling or touring IN Argentina.There are a lot of occasions where you have to show your passport or a copy, for instance:- paying with a credit card;- sometimes when visiting special sights (for instance the Palacio del Congresso in Bs As);- changing money;- renting a car;- checking in hotels etc;- police check points on the roads;- buying tickets (bus/plane);- (off course your original passport) making a day trip out of the country (Brazil, Uruguay or Chile).(If you are entering or leaving the country the immigration officers ‘love’ to stamp your passport.)
