Before we dive in to the marvels Argentina has to offer, travelers need to know about the Reciprocity Fee. This is an entry fee that must be paid online and prior to departure. Fill out the online application at least three days prior to your travels. For additional details on requirements for US Citizens, visit the State Department website or the Embassy of Argentina.
With its long history as a wine-drinking nation, one might be surprised to hear that beer has made huge surge into the private refrigerators and taverns of Argentina. In recent years, the whole South American country has gone stark raving mad for a different type of alcoholic beverage than their standard vino, and they have gotten quite creative with it. Here are some of the things you can expect (or hope!) to experience with Argentinian beer and your photo ID on your next vacation!
For those of you who don’t know what a microbrewery is and have never gotten to experience the joyful fruits of such endeavors in your own countries, boy, does the Argentine variety have something wonderful in store for you. A microbrewery is basically what it sounds like, just a small-scale beer brewing operation capable of producing limited amounts of its own amber nectar. Argentina now has over two hundred and fifty microbreweries, and this number grows every year, folks.
One of the most amazing things about these Argentine microbreweries is that so very bars, which sell their own product, own many of them. It’s a huge amount, percentage wise, in comparison to the number of so-called ‘brewpubs’ of North America and the UK. Some of the most famous of these are located right in hotspot Buenos Aires, so if you’re down for a night of bar-hopping in this behemoth metropolis, make sure you add Buller and Cruzat to your list!
Craft beer, the by-product of microbreweries, has become the hot new way to enjoy a cold one in Argentina. In addition to these brewpubs, craft beers can be purchased locally from brewers who don’t own a tavern or at different retailers across the country. Argentines love to try out new craft beers on a regular basis, and friendly locals will often point to the label in their hand as a way to suggest a beer for you.
If you’re looking more for places to enjoy your ice cold cervesa, the cities have no shortage of popular nightlife locations for wine sippers and beer drinkers alike. Keep in mind that live music is very popular in Argentinian taverns still, even though music isn’t nearly so much a focus as it would be at a night club, and that, like where you live, most smoking takes place outside the bar’s four walls, both for courtesy and health considerations.
Of course, a good way to pack in a lot of beer and partying into one night is to take place in the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl tour. You’ll meet locals and international friends alike, and it’s available seven nights a week. Prices include all you can drink beer and wine with pizza for the first hour of the evening. You end your crazy night of pub crawling by going with your new buddies to a bumping nightclub to dance and sweat out all the alcohol. Fun times to be had all ‘round for vacationers in Argentina!
