Buenos Aires and frequently ignore traffic regulations. Road conditions are
favorable throughout Argentina, which is well connected by main highways. U.S.
driver's licenses are valid in the capital and the province of Buenos Aires,
but Argentine or international licenses are required to drive in the rest of
the country. For further information, please contact the Argentine Automobile
