Driving in San Juan

Car Class Recommendations

We recommend a mid-sized car to comfortably navigate the streets of San Juan. If you plan to take on the rugged terrains of the Andean mountains, a robust 4x4 is worth considering.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Unlike the UK, Argentinians drive on the right. The speed limit in urban areas is generally 40-60 km/h, and 80-130 km/h on highways and open roads. Remember, seatbelts are compulsory for all passengers, and unlike the UK, it's illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving.

A trip to San Juan isn’t complete without a visit to the Ischigualasto Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site nicknamed the Moon Valley, and the neighbouring Talampaya National Park. Be sure to drive to San Juan city for its cultural riches, and the wine-town of Calingasta nestled between snow-capped peaks and lush vineyards.
