Tourist information

There are tourist information offices in all

provincial capitals, in major tourist destinations

and many bus terminals/airports in popular destinations. Infrastructure varies across the country, but they can usually give you a town map and sometimes a list of accommodation, as well as the tours, sights and festivals in the

area. Staff in more popular tourist areas usually

speak at least some English (and sometimes French, German, Italian) and are usually helpful. Opening hours are long - typically 0800-2000 in summer but may close at weekends. All bus terminals have an office (often signed

) with bus information.

Loads of information on Argentina is now

available on the internet, much of it reasonably

up-to-date and in English. Most provinces in Argentina have their own website and it's useful to have a look before you come for inspiration and information. Each province has a tourist office,

, in Buenos Aires, Mon-Fri 1000-1630/1730.
