Travel to Argentina doesn't raise any major health worries and with a small dose of precaution and a handful of standard vaccinations (tetanus, polio, typhoid and hepatitis A) you are unlikely to encounter any serious problems. A bout of travellers' diarrhoea is the most you're likely to have to worry about as your body adjusts to local micro-organisms in the food and water. It's also best to ease yourself gently into the local diet - sudden quantities of red meat, red wine, strong coffee and sweet pastries can be very unsettling for a stomach used to gentler repasts - and though tap water in Argentina is generally safe to drink, if sometimes heavily chlorinated, you may prefer to err on the side of caution in rural areas in the north of the country Other useful information
