This is what the U.S. Embassy says about security of Americans in Argentina.What is the real story? What are the real dangers? Where are the safe places? How much risk is there for expats? Individuals and organizations with ties to extremist groups, including some known to provide financial support to designated foreign terrorist organizations, operate in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, in the tri-border area between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. No operational terrorist activities have been detected in Argentina, however, and the governments of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay are engaged in a coordinated effort, supported by the U.S. Government, to combat illegal activity in that area. Americans crossing from Argentina into Paraguay or Brazil may wish to consult the most recent Consular Information Sheets for those countries. In recent years, there have been a number of small bomb/incendiary incidents in metropolitan Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, Santa Fe, and other cities. The bulk of the targets have been bank branches (ATMs), fast food restaurants, and Argentine government-affiliated offices. These incidents usually occurred in the middle of the night and appeared intended to cause only property damage. There has been no indication that these incidents were connected to international terrorism. Trackbacks

I lived in Argentina for 6 months...during which there were the riots in Mar de Plata when Bush was in town. All told, everyone was wonderful, and I never had a problem with anyone. Generally felt safer from robbery and petty theft etc. than europe. Great experience!

I think you will find a big difference between those that "hate America" and those that "hate Americans".That is as a traveller you will not usually have any trouble from those that "hate America".

In my two trips to Argentina recently I have never once felt as thought I was in danger of being robbed or assaulted. I stayed about twp weeks each time while I was visiting my wife , who is Argentine, and her family. I was in Buenos Aires in the airports and bus stations and on the streets. Also was in Resistencia where my wife and her family are now. Of course I tok precautions, was careful. But I think also if you don't creat problems there won't be any in many circumstances. Everyone welcomed me there. I enjyed it and am looking forward to my next trip.

I've been in Mar del Plata for 4 months, and I have never had any kind of awkward situation. Almost everyone I meet is very cool and kind, especially with the cheek kissing. ;)
