Ingrid Couchsurfing in Argentina: travel guide
Updated · Written for travellers staying with local hosts
Argentine hospitality revolves around long meals, late nights and shared mate, the herbal tea passed around a group from one gourd. In Buenos Aires, hosts are typically students, artists, professionals and young families living in apartments, and they will likely take you to a parrilla for asado or to a neighbourhood milonga. In Cordoba, Mendoza and Rosario, life is a little slower but just as social, with weekends spent at family asados. Patagonia's small towns, like El Chalten and Bariloche, host many outdoorsy people and seasonal workers, and work-exchange in hostels and estancias is common. Argentines are direct, opinionated and passionate about football, politics and food, and they love long conversations. Rioplatense Spanish, with its distinctive accent and voseo, takes a little getting used to.
Where to couchsurf in Argentina
Getting around Argentina
Long-distance buses, called micros, are comfortable and extensive, with semi-cama and cama (sleeper) seats on overnight routes. Flights save time on long distances, such as Buenos Aires to Patagonia. In Buenos Aires, the SUBE card works on the Subte, buses and trains. Hitchhiking, called hacer dedo, is common in Patagonia and parts of the south, though traffic can be sparse. Rideshare platforms are also used between cities. Patagonia's distances are vast, so plan carefully.
Argentina on a budget
Costs in Argentina can shift quickly with the economy, so ask hosts about current conditions and the best ways to pay. Eating at parrillas, empanada shops and bakeries is good value, and supermarket food for cooking at home saves money. Patagonia is noticeably more expensive, especially for food and tours. Asados with hosts, free walking routes, parks and Buenos Aires street culture are the best low-cost experiences. Wine is often affordable.
Hospitality culture in Argentina
Argentines greet with a single cheek kiss, even between men who are friends. Dinner is very late, often after 9 or 10pm, and nightlife starts even later. Sharing mate is a sign of friendship: drink the whole gourd and pass it back to the person serving; saying gracias means you do not want more. Bring wine, dessert or facturas (pastries) to a meal. Conversation is direct and lively, and hosts appreciate guests who join in.
Best time to visit Argentina
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are ideal for Buenos Aires and wine regions. Patagonia is best from November to March, while the north is pleasant in winter, and skiing runs from June to September.
