Driving tips and tricks
Vehicles drive on the right and overtake on the left.
Always stock your vehicle with fuel and water for both passengers and the motorhome, and keep a form of communication with you.
For remote roads like Route 40, it pays to consider a 4WD vehicle, as there are unpaved sections.
The blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers is 0.05%. It pays to avoid alcohol altogether before driving.
Leave your low-beam headlights on during the day.

The Carnival is a nationwide celebration in February, a religious observance held in the days before Ash Wednesday. The 4-day weekend is filled with parties and events all over the country, so if you are there for it, head to the closest civilisation and join in the fun!
Accommodation
Argentina does not lack accommodation options - and as well as the city hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, luxury ranches and other establishments, there are myriad campsites where you can stay with a motorhome. In and around towns, look out for a Balneario or Camping Municipal, a basic local campsite with bathrooms and barbecues. The country also has many private campgrounds, with a range of facilities and fees, and national parks may offer free camping (camping libre) with little or no facilities. If you are planning to stay in one of these sites, a self-contained vehicle is ideal.
