WHAT TO PACK
To enjoy your stay the best thing will be to take comfortable, light clothing and sturdy footwear (trails tend to be muddy). You should be careful about slipping on many parts of the trekking trails. We recommend you not to forget to take sunglasses with UV protection, sunscreen (minimum factor 30) for your face and lips, a sun protecting cap and mosquito repellent.

HEALTH
There are no endemic diseases, so no special vaccines are necessary for entry.
Argentina is free of foot and mouth disease, so beef consumption is not risky.
Shellfish consumption is usually seasonally restricted in the presence of the "red tide", a fact that is informed in the media.
Argentina has an important network of hospitals, clinics and medical posts throughout its territory, most of them possessing emergency services. In the main cities, the hospitals can treat high complexity cases, while services in remote villages are at the basic level.

WATER
All the Argentine cities mentioned on your itinerary have drinking water treatment plants. However, to avoid any possible inconvenience, it is best to drink bottled water, especially when visiting the more distant attractions.

LOCAL CUISINE
This northeastern area is influenced by the guarani tribe of aborigines, who based their meals on manioc, pumpkin, mamon, queso criollo, and the abundant fish in the rivers, such as dorado, surubi and pati. Sopa paraguaya is a special product and guascha locro is a typical corn stew from this province. The natives of this region also knew the medicinal properties of all the jungle plants, and especially of "yerba mate" (mate tea leaves): these are used to brew "mate", a tea prepared in a small gourd (the mate), and sipped through a metal straw (the "bombilla").

IMPORTANT
We reserve the right to make changes to the order of the trip, without prior notice, due to changes in climate conditions, river water levels, flight or bus arrival and departure times or any other reason relevant to the best development of the trip.
