Road Rules and Driving

Unlike the UK, Argentineans drive on the right-hand side of the road. Roads in major cities are paved and well maintained, but expect gravel and dirt roads in rural areas. Speed limits are generally 40-60 km/h in urban areas and up to 130 km/h on highways.

Attractions

From the bustling city of Viedma to the pristine beaches of El Cóndor, Río Negro is brimming with attractions. A drive along the ‘Route of the Seven Lakes’ offers enchanting panoramic lake views. For wine lovers, the wineries in the Río Negro Valley are a must-visit.

Beaches and Nature

Sparkling oceans, cinematic landscapes, bustling wildlife – Río Negro has it all. El Cóndor, with its staggering cliff-decked beaches, is a haven for birdwatchers where you can spot the largest parrot colony in the world.

Cities and Towns

From Viedma that offers the perfect blend of urban culture and serene river vistas to the quaint and charming town of El Bolsón at the foot of the Piltriquitrón mountain, Río Negro promises diverse cityscapes.

Weather

The climate in Río Negro is subpolar oceanic, much colder than what you might be used to in the UK. Prepare for some snowfold between June and August.>/p>

Currency

The official currency is Argentine Peso which is lower in value than the British pound and makes Argentina generally an affordable destination for British travellers. You can find ATMs in most urban areas.

Seasonal Events

For a regional cultural experience, consider scheduling your visit to coincide with La Fiesta de la Manzana in General Roca in February. Don't miss the Snow Festival in Bariloche if you're visiting in August.
