The Unorthodox Drive

For folks hailing from Great Britain, driving in Argentina might initially seem unconventional. But fret not, with our handy guide, you will navigate Argentina's roads like a local in no time!

• Keep Left? - Unlike in the UK, here in Argentina, we drive on the right-hand side of the road. But don't worry, it doesn't take long to get used to this switch!
• Speed Limits - The maximum speed limit on motorways is 130 km/h (about 80 mph), and in urban areas, it usually varies between 40km/h (25 mph) and 60km/h (37 mph).
• Horn Not a Norm - Argentina has strict rules around the use of vehicle horns. They are only to be used in cases of immediate and severe danger.

Choose Your Steed Wisely

The varied terrain of the province calls for a careful selection of your rental car. Compact or small-sized cars are ideal for solo travelers and couples, whilst those with larger families or more luggage might prefer a comfortable, spacious SUV.

The Climate Diary

Salta Province offers a temperate climate, hot summers and cold winters with rare snowfall. Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant, perfect for exploration. Therefore, it's recommended to pack layers.

Money on Wheels

The official currency in Argentina is the Argentine Peso (ARS). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but it's always useful to have some cash on hand for smaller establishments and rural areas.
