advance?","answer":"Due to the complex nature of this itinerary \u2013 internal flights, limited off-grid experiences and small, unique accommodation \u2013 it can be difficult (though not impossible) for us to secure spots for latecomers. If you\u2019d prefer to avoid the stress of not knowing if you\u2019re \u2018in\u2019, booking early will give you the guarantee you need.\n"},{"question":"Are flights included?","answer":"Flights to and from your destination aren\u2019t included in the trip price \u2014 you\u2019ll need to book these independently. Any flights needed during the tour itself are included and taken care of by us. You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested arrival and departure times, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport should I fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Buenos Aires where there are two airports: Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP).\nFly out of Mendoza International Airport (MDZ\/SAME).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"We suggest arriving in Buenos Aires before 3 pm in time for our welcome meeting at 5 pm.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"Check-out time is 11 am but you can leave any time that suits you. The airport is approximately an hour from your final hotel. Your Pack leader can help you book transfers the night before if needed.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travellers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 12-15 USD per day\nDriver: 3-5 USD per journey\nLocal tips: your Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip local guides, porters,\u00a0 waiters, etc. Some Pack Leaders will collect a kitty at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips.\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\nPlease note that you will not always have access to ATMs so it\u2019s important to carry cash with you.\n\u00a0\n"},{"question":"How much should I budget per day for extras? ","answer":"Approximately 50 USD per day should be enough for additional meals, drinks and incidentals, but you may need a little more if you plan on doing much shopping.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need?","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalised medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure. This will give you ample time to receive any necessary vaccines or medications.\n2. Up-to-date medical advice\n\nUK residents: visit the NHS Fit For Travel website for the latest medical advice.\nUS residents: check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for specialised health information.\nAustralian residents: refer to the Smart Traveler Health website for current medical advice.\n\n3. Government travel advice\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\n\n4. Medication tips\nIf you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays.\u00a0Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.\nWe hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.\n"},{"question":"Will the trip cost increase? ","answer":"Domestic flights in Argentina are rarely on time, and often sell out \u2013 this means that last-minute bookings on this adventure may not be possible. If available, bookings may be charged at a higher rate due to increased airfares. For this reason, we recommend booking this adventure in advance.\n"},{"question":"Which airlines do we use for the internal flights?","answer":"Aerolineas Argentinas for the three internal flights. The luggage limit for Aerolineas Argentinas domestic flights is 15kg for hold luggage and 8kg for carry-on.\n"},{"question":"What fitness levels do I need for this trip? Plus waiver information","answer":"This is one of our more challenging trips due to the amount of hiking involved. Due to the degree of effort and difficulty for the hiking excursions, we do not recommend this trip to pregnant women or anyone unfit, or with severe health problems. We recommend having a read through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness.\nPlease also note at\u00a0the start of your adventure, your Pack Leader will ask you to sign a standard Waiver of Responsibility. This is just to confirm that you are physically able to participate in the various activities included in the itinerary and that you understand that these activities naturally include an element of risk. If you would like to see a copy of this form prior to travel, please do feel free to get in touch with the Flash Pack team and we can go through it with you.\n"},{"question":"Do I need to be able to swim? ","answer":"Being able to swim is a mandatory requirement to take part in the packrafting activity.

We recommend checking the weather forecast in each location a week before you travel to give yourself an idea of what you can expect and what you should pack.\nWhat you pack is personal to you and our list is certainly not exhaustive. If you have any questions about what to pack for your trip to Argentina, please get in touch with one of our friendly Trip Experts.\nBaggage\n\nA large backpack or suitcase.
