There are strict customs rules, and you must declare any goods that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

Watch your belongings closely on public transport and at terminals, and do not hang bags on chair backs.

In crowded areas like Buenos Aires, be aware of thieves using distraction techniques such as the 'mustard scam' to steal your possessions.

Avoid wearing expensive jewellery or clothing in public, especially at night, to reduce the risk of robbery or opportunistic kidnapping.

Never leave your drink unattended in bars and do not accept drinks or food from strangers to avoid spiking and the risk of robbery or assault.

When driving, always keep your car windows closed and doors locked, especially in major cities, due to vehicle crime.

Book taxis in advance or only hail a taxi with a visible 'radio taxi' logo on the door for your safety.

If you rent a car, you must have both the 1949 version of an international driving permit and your UK driving licence with you inside the vehicle.
