'''[[Argentina]]''' is a country in [[South America]]. The capital is [[Buenos Aires]]. It has borders to [[Chile]], [[Bolivia]], [[Brazil]], [[Uruguay]] and [[Paraguay]].

==Hitchhiking culture==

For hitchhikers '''Argentina''' can be divided into two parts. The North, which is pretty okay to hitchhike, and the South on which opinions vary a lot: it may be difficult to hitchhike if you get into the lonely dirt roads of the Patagonia, because population is scarce. But if you travel southward to the end of Argentina, rides may be a little bit hard, but they take you a long way along.

It's considered normal to ask the people working filling tanks at gas stations to ask people for you. If you're a foreigner, ''do'' mention it! A [[Netherlands|Dutch]] guy mentioned that it seems to be a lot easier to get rides.

===Toll Roads===

There are quite some ''peajes'' (toll passages). In the South however, these are not so good and you will just be sent away after a while.

===License Plates===

License plates are black, composed by three white letters and three white numbers. If you're in another country and hitching to Argentina, look for these plates!

===Maps===

A normal map is pretty expensive, but there is a road map containing many countries of [[South America]] for something like 10 pesos. [http://www.br.map24.com/ Map24] (in Portuguese) has information about the whole of [[South America]].
