A trending destination that’s filled with unique tastes, a proud culture, and incredible landscapes, there’s no doubt that Argentina is one of the best places to visit as a solo traveler.
Not quite a hop, skip, and a jump from the U.S., Argentina is definitely a commitment when it comes to venturing to South America.
A long flight from most locations, it’s a good thing the country has so much to offer once you’re there.
As one of the safest destinations in South America to travel solo, the ease you’ll feel in most neighborhoods is surprising to travelers when they first visit.
If you’re completely new to Argentina or exploring South America, the best central hub is no doubt Buenos Aires.
As an up-and-coming hotspot, this vibrant city comes to life year-round, with its culture seeping through in its food, people, and architecture.
There’s so much to see here, making it a prime starting point for solo travelers looking to venture out in 2024.
Food Culture
The universe’s love language that brings communities together.
If you ask a local their favorite traditional dish, you’ll make a friend for life. Many cultures worldwide are thrilled to show off their meals – and to share with tourists!
As a solo traveler anywhere in the world, the best thing you can do for yourself upon arrival is to sign up for a walking or food tour. Learn new things, eat new foods.
You’ll be surprised how many solo travelers have the same idea and sign up too! (There are even a few cooking classes you can sign up for with locals — for a more traditional experience).
Travel Communities
South America, in general, is known for being a solid choice for solo travelers, nomads, and backpackers to visit. With its affordable prices, thriving traveler communities, and 5-star hostels – who wouldn’t want to visit?
Argentina is no exception. Filled with hostels and quirky hotels, you’ll have your pick of the bunch. From plunge pools to rooftop bars, it really depends on what type of accommodation you’re looking for while you’re here. (To meet people, always opt for hostels!)
While there are traveler communities throughout the country, Buenos Aires has plenty of options in terms of living, events, and co-working cafes.
Incredible Nature
