If you see the hills in a romantic hazy mist like this when driving in Salta or Tucuman, it means it is raining in the mountains and the road is quite likely to be like in the next two photos.ALWAYS make sure your fuel tank is full and you have enough water and munches (crackers, canned tuna, etc.) in the car to last you a day.
It only takes an hour to cross on the "Buquebus" from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay, or three hours to reach the capital of Uruguay - Montevideo. Colonia is very pretty and worth a day trip from Buenos Aires - even if it's just for a break from the madness of city life!
The Argentine Highway Code:Any white lines on the road are purely decorative - ignore themCyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are invisible - ignore themAt night, lights are optionalAt level crossings, ignore any flashing lights and alarm bells and follow the car infront across the tracks.On motorways, drive as close to the bumper of the car infront as you can. If he brakes, swerve into someone else's lane.Good luck!
From Mendoza to Buenos Aries I took a bus with Chevallier. It was 14 hours overnight and I had a great sleep because the bus was comfortable and had air conditioning which was nice after the hot nights at Mendoza.
I highly recommend taking the bus from Chile to Mendoza. I caught the bus from Vina Del Mar that bypasses Santiago, but of course you can take one from Santiago as well. The sites along the way are spectacular and the amount of switchbacks before leaving Chile is amazing.
Usually the bus routes are well-marked after a really close study of the Guia T (the transportation guidebook most similar to the London A to Z). But sometimes there are what I like to call "invisible bus stops"--the bus passes by these stops and allows you to board even though its not an official stop--most importantly, these are stops where the buses pass when they are detouring, so they are essential or you could be waiting 3 days for a bus that will never come. I have the privilege to say I have found TWO such invisible stops in Buenos Aires--that, my friends, is when you REALLY know your way around Argentina:)
The bus and subway systems in Buenos Aires are both fine, but the taxis are an incredible deal. I found myself taking 4/5 cabs a day to give my weary feet a break and maximize my exploration. Taxis cost about 4-10 pesos (1-3 dollars) for everywhere you want to go in the city and some English-speaking drivers will throw in a commentary for free. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory, the custom is to just round up or down to the next peso in most cases.
The subway is pretty safe and clean, just old. It is inexpensive (70 Pesos in 04') and can get you just about anywhere you want to go, but it doesn't run past 10PM. Taxi's are super cheap and FAST! Boy can these guys drive! Take radio taxi's with 4 emblems on the four doors, NOT 2! You can call for them or hail them very easily, anywhere.

Whenever taking a bus in Argentina, it is important that you have sufficient loose change (coins) to get around. Most stores in Argentina would not want to break a bill for you, knowingly that you need coins to get around in the bus. One of their ploy is that you would have to buy something ridiculous just so that you would get the change. If you have the chance, make sure you have your coins ready before you leave the hotel. Try to use less coins and whatever coins that you have keep it for the bus.
