Our Guides: All guides are local and very knowledgeable to the specific area, are fully insured and are professional and patient in nature. We are fully aware that the guide can make all the difference to your fishing holiday so we only use the best we can find.

Clothes: Like most mountainous areas the weather can change from hour to hour. Wearing several layers of clothing all year round is practical. Winds can blow anytime, but are not bothersome. We recommend to bring:

Warm and cold weather clothing
Sun and rain hat
Sun protective clothing
Windbreaker
Rain Gear
Sandals
Comfortable walking\hiking shoes

Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is wise to purchase when traveling extensively. VIP Fly Fishing Patagonia highly recommends all visitors purchase travel insurance. Although Argentina is a safe country and your hosts take every precaution necessary to ensure your well being, unexpected events do happen. All medications you might want or require should be brought with you. You can be further prepared by buying complete travel insurance that includes medical evacuations. Please note that we are not responsible for loss of planned activities due to late arrivals. Many credit card companies offer travel insurance services.

Travel Documents: You can visit Argentina only with your passport.

Currency and Money: The Argentine currency is the peso, which fluctuates around 3 pesos to 1 US dollar. Your personal purchases should be made with dollars, pesos or credit cards. Currency exchange houses can be found in airports or in towns. Most of your personal purchases will be made with cash (pesos or dollars) as well as credit cards. Travelers checks are not accepted by many merchants. There are many ATM machines to get cash with credit or debit cards.

Food: The food served will be local meats, vegetables and fruit prepared daily in traditional Argentine style. Lunchs will be served with fine wines from Argentina.

Internet Services: All lodging services, hotels and accommodation options have this service available. Argentina is fast catching on to the Internet, and is one of the best developed of the Latin American countries in terms of using it as a business tool. All towns in Argentina have a public place for accessing the Internet, with inexpensive rates: less than US$0.50 per hour. All cities have hundreds of Internet cafés, office rooms, and telephone call centers. You can find free access in libraries and cultural centers.

Electricity: 220V/50Hz is standard throughout the country. The sockets are two-pronged with round pins, but are different to the two-pin European plugs. Adapters will probably be needed and can be bought at any electrical shops.

Laundry: plentiful supply of laundries (lavanderías or lavaderos). You may also have this service in your accommodation option (it depends on your accommodation option). Many of them also do dry-cleaning, though you may have to go to a tintorería. Self-service places are almost unheard of; you normally give your name and leave your washing to pick it up later. Rates are inexpensive. The quality is good and the service is usually quick and reliable. One important word of vocabulary to know is planchado (ironed).

Telephone Jacks: Argentina uses international standard telephone jacks (the same as those used in the USA), compatible with all standard fax and email connections.
