Argentina People

The population in the country is about 40 million, with about 14 million living in Buenos Aires alone.  The overall density is 14 persons per square km, which is less than one-third of the world average.  More than 80% of the population are descendents of European immigrants, especially from Italy and Spain, who came in the late 19th century.  15% are Mestizos (mixed European/American Indians) and 1% are American Indians.  There are also some immigrants from Syria, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries; they are mostly Christians.  Recent years see a significant influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, from neighbouring countries such as Paraguary, Bolivia and Peru.

Travel Tips for People in Argentina

1. Stephan's Tip on Pinamar
Pinamar, The Pampas, Argentina
Pinamar is a city lying down next to the Atlantic Ocean, with nice beaches and has a relax mood. The night-life in the city has a large variaty for all the people, and it is often visited by young argentineans who try to escape from the city and party for the weekend.

2. Emma's Tip on Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Go to La Cabrera restaurant on J.A. Cabrera and the corner of Thames. (via public transport, get off at the Plaza Italia subte and walk up Thames, a pleasent maybe 10 minute walk.) It opens at 8:30 and only takes reservations for the first batch of people, we had a 45 minute wait, but it was well worth it! They served us champaigne for free while we waited! And the food was excellent!!! Melt in your mouth, so much steak you can't move! Loved Buenos Aires!!!

4. James's Tip on Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Be extremely careful if travelling through Buenos Aires bus station to destinations. Keep everything close to you and don't be distracted for a minute by anyone in there. I was unfortunate enough to be duped by someone dropping money on the floor, then when I picked it up for them, someone else took my rucksack. Although there are plenty of police there they know the people who are committing the crime and simply turn a blind eye to it in return for a cut (according to the Embassy who complain about it every week) You will not get your belongings back if taken you will simply get the bureaucracy of a police note for an insurance claim...
