For hitchhikers '''Argentina''' can be divided into two parts. The north, which is pretty okay to hitchhike, and the south, which is a complete disaster, especially compared to its neighbour [[Chile]].
'''[[http://www.br.map24.com/ Map24Argentina]] ''' is a country in Portuguese but has information about the whole of [[South America]].A normal map The capital is pretty expensive[[Buenos Aires]]. It has borders to [[Chile]], but there ''is'' a road map containing many countries of [[South AmericaBolivia]], [[Brazil]], [[Uruguay]] and [[Paraguay]] for something like 10 pesos.
In Argentina it's normal to ask the people filling tanks at gas stations to ask people for you!==Hitchhiking culture==
If youFor hitchhikers ''re a foreigner, 'Argentina'do'' mention it! As can be divided into two parts. The North, which is pretty okay to hitchhike, and the South on which opinions vary a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] guy lot: it seems to may be a lot easier 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, ridesmay be a little bit hard, but they take you a long way along.
Number plates are white[[File:C_rivadavia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|[[User:narfette|narfette]] hitchhiking on ruta 3, composed by three white letters and three white numbersTrelew, so if Argentina]] It's considered normal to ask the people working filling tanks at gas stations to ask people for you. If you're in another country and hitching to Argentinaa foreigner, look for these plates''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.
About ===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 in general, [[User:Guaka|guaka]] can tell us this:look for these plates! ===Maps===
: ''I disagree with the previous writer, not on the comparison with ChileA normal map is pretty expensive, but i do disagree on the south traveling item. The south of Argentina may be difficult to hitchhike if you get into the lonely dirt roads of the Patagonia, because population there is scarce. But if you travel southward to the end a road map containing many countries of Argentina, rides may be a little bit hard, but they will take you a long way along[[South America]] for something like 10 pesos. Patagonia has a single very crowded road, which is the national nº 3[http://www. And some east-west roads, some dirt, some pavementbr. It is easy to get a ride on the paved roadmap24. Dirt roads, however, and because of com/ Map24] (in Portuguese) has information about the lack whole of vehicles, are much harder[[South America]].''
[[File:C_rivadavia.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]==Public Transport==About Patagonia, [[User:narfette|narfette]] says:: '' If choosing Please contribute to hitchhike through this section!'' ==Regions & Cities== Patagonia, as Guaka has stateda single very crowded road, which is the ''national ruta 3 '' that goes down along the coast . It is a your better bet: although when heading South.Although there are often many kilometers in between villages, it is a well travelled road. Ruta  There are also some East-West roads, some of them being dirt, some being pavement. It is easy to get a ride on the paved road but dirt roads, however, are much harder because of the lack of vehicles. The ''national ruta nº 40 which '' goes from San Carlos de Bariloche south, (South) is a road that gets frequently closed off because of the bad weather and is reputed to be hellish to hitch on - fewer cars, unpaved sections and some people have said they have gone days without seeing anyone. Winding, remote mountain roads and bad weather conditions in any season but summer make it less travelled by truckers and therefore is not recommended. [[Gas station|Gas stations]]s are generally your best bet, although roadside hitching is possible.''
