Essential Travel Insurance Tips

The Land of Evita is a popular and accessible destination for Brazilians because it’s a short distance away and you don’t need to apply for a visa.

It doesn’t matter if you’re skiing in the Andes, tango dancing in Buenos Aires, boating around the Delta islands, trekking in the glaciers, or shopping in Bariloche, you should be prepared for things that could go wrong in any situation. World Nomads travel insurance can prepare you for the unexpected and help protect you and your family.

Medical, hospital and dental expenses

As the saying goes, it’s better safe than sorry. Don’t ruin your trip by spending a fortune on private medical care or waiting in line for public hospitals to get treated for sudden illnesses or accidents.

Our plans include coverage for hospital stays and medical and dental emergencies, as well as prescription medicine for for emergencies, up to a maximum limit. We do not cover routine medical appointments, non-emergency situations, orepidemics and pandemics, as declared by the World Health Organization and other authoritative bodies.

Tip: Check to see what vaccines are recommend or required for travel to Argentina and keep your current shots up-to-date. Stay on top ofinformation about disease outbreaks and how to avoid them.

Skiing, snowboarding and trekking

Argentina offers countless opportunities for sports and adventure activities, including skiing, snowboarding and trekking on glaciers. If you are planning to tackle the icy Argentine mountains, it is important to remember that accidents do happen, even with the most experienced adventurers.

World Nomads travel insurance covers a lot of sports and adventure activities including skiing, snowboarding and trekking. Our plans include coverage for accidents, medical emergencies, hospital stays and medical evacuation.

At World Nomads, you have access to a 24/7 Emergency Assistance team, who can locate nearby clinics or hospitals and communicate with your family in a time of crisis.

Tip: When participating in sports or adventure activities, always use safety equipment, check to see if weather conditions are suitable, and use only properly licensed operators.

Petty thefts

Although Argentina is one of the safest countries in South America, petty thefts and robberies can happen. Guard your purse and valuables (such as phones and cameras), especially in crowded places, on public transportation, and in dark and deserted places. Never leave your purse or any of your other belongings unattended. If you get mugged , don’t get confrontational with the thieves and hand over the items they demand from you.

In the event of a stolen or lost passport or other travel document, you can call the Emergency Assistance team for help. They can direct you to embassies or consulates and other relevant authorities.

Always check the policy wording and compare Standard and Explorer plans so you can choose theappropriate level of coverage for your trip. If you have any questions, please contact us.
