Resources for Travel in Argentina – Practical Information on Road Maps and Traffic Rules

Posted by Karin-Marijke Vis Aug 13, 2009 |
After 1,5 years of cruising the roads of Argentina, we've learned a thing or two about Argentinian road maps, traffic police and traffic regulations. Not that the latter always make sense, even the employees at ACA – the Argentinian Automobile Association – are not always able to properly answer the questions on which traffic rules are official or unwritten, or which depend on the whims of a traffic police officer.
If planning to spend a long time in Argentina by car or motorcycle, it may be worth investing time in Proyecto Mapear, by far and large the best digital map of Argentina at the moment. Having said that, Garmin’s competitor Tomtom has announced to cover the Argentinian roads as well. They may be more accurate than Mapear. Time will tell.
Argentina invites you to discover her! Below are links to informative articles about practical information to help you worry less and enjoy more.
