2) Travel Insurance

Most US insurance policies do not provide medical coverage in Argentina. We recommend World Nomads — specialists in adventure travel insurance. This isn’t a gimmick; we have clients use their travel insurance every year. Not just for medical reasons, but for lost luggage (they cover your rental gear), flight delay-related costs and much more. Also, if you miss days of the program, get injured or can’t attend because of a covered reason, they’ll reimburse you for the days of the program you miss! It’s available to US, Canadian and most international clients.

3) Entry Fee

 (aka “Reciprocity Fee”) for US, Canadian & Australian clients.

 *THIS IS IMPORTANT*

This is not a visa — a visa is not required for Americans, Australians and Canadians to enter Argentina. However, Argentina charges US, Canadian and Australian citizens the same fee that we charge them to visit these countries. You must pay the fee online and bring a printed copy of the barcoded receipt with you at departure.
