How to recognise Argentina from the road
Drives on the right
Endless flat pampas, eucalyptus windbreaks and dry Patagonian steppe in the south. Argentina is big and often empty.
What to look for
1
Spanish signs
Signs are in Spanish, with distances in kilometres.
2
White plates with a blue band
Newer plates are white with a blue band across the top, a format shared with Brazil and Uruguay.
3
Flat to the horizon
Around Buenos Aires and inland, the pampas are completely flat, broken only by rows of eucalyptus.
4
The sun in the north
Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, so the midday sun sits to the north.
