Advised for most travellers

Advised for some travellers, depending on your trip

These are suggestions only and may differ from what our expert clinician advises at your consultation.

Entry rules

  • There are no certificate requirements under International Health Regulations.
  • There is a risk of yellow fever in the far north-east.

Malaria

No malaria risk.

  • The World Health Organization declared Argentina malaria-free in 2019. Bite avoidance is still sensible.

Other health risks

Altitude

The Andes are very high. Aconcagua rises to 6,960 metres, and parts of Salta and Jujuy are above 2,500 metres.

Zika

There is a risk. Pregnant travellers and couples planning a pregnancy should seek advice before booking.

Hantavirus

59 confirmed cases were reported in 2026 up to early October. It is spread by rodents, so take care in rural cabins and campsites.
