Unless you are a confident, assertive driver and know where you are going, it's best to leave the driving to others in Argentina and take public transportation.

Holidays and summer vacations are popular travel times. Use your Argentina cellular phone rentals to make your reservations in advance.

Take the bus. See Getting to Buenos Aires for details of long distance bus companies and routes. Many of these busses are very comfortable with reclining seats.

Take the train - with caution. Many trains are not well-maintained. The exception is the train from Buenos Aires to Mar de Plata which is luxurious and very comfortable.

If you do travel by train, note that some routes have up to four classes, with the best and most comfortable being the sleeper compartments called coche de cama. Pullman class has reclining seats and air-conditioning. Primera, or first class, has air-conditioning and smaller reclining seats. Turista class is best avoided. Getting to Buenos Aires also has train and airline information.
