== Safety ==
One word of advice is that although traffic is much heavier in the north, the routes do cross major cities, and hitchhiking is much more dangerous near urban centers. It is advisable, if possible, to get off at the nearest pueblo and take a bus into cities such as Cordoba, Santa Fe, Rosario, etc. The same can be said for leaving. In the south there are really no big cities, and the highways all have gas stations, and the people are much more helpful. No danger there.
== Camping ==
In general camping is really easy. Gas stations are a good option.
But there is also so much space, that if you hide a bit your tent nobody will bother you.
In some parts wild camping is illegal. Especially when there is a lot of paid camping sites all around.
you can still sneak and put your tent somewhere in nature and probably nobody will notice it.
But be careful. Especially with fire. If you are going to make fire, rangers will come.
Some places in Argentina had crazy bushfires and because of it the country is really harsh on that topic.
== Recycling ==
Reciclar (Recycling), which is basically taking the food supermarkets throw away,
is very common in Argentina.
when you enter shops looking like a traveler (not a tourist) the seller might ask you if you want the "recicle",
Which means the things that they are going to throw. Banana with some spots, some tired carrots and etc.
You can also ask if there is somethings they are going to throw if they don't ask you.
In fruit and vegetable shops it's very common, but also possible in small supermarkets and restaurants towards the end of the day.
