Passport Information

We want to make sure we keep you healthy on the trip, and our ranches healthy when we get back.  

None of the areas were we are traveling have vaccination requirements or infectious disease risks.  However, its always a good idea to pack a little extra of any medications you regularly require, plus you might want to think about over the counter medication to help with adjusting to new foods, motion sickness, allergies, or other personal health considerations.

While we wont be traveling in any areas that are known to have Foot and Mouth Disease, Argentina does have pockets of the disease throughout their country.  We're looking into the exact recommendations for keeping everyone safe and we'll provide more information as soon as we can. 

We'll be spending Argentinean Pesos and Chilean Pesos.  These are two separate currencies and will require that we convert Dollars for each separate country.

There are a lot of options for dealing with currency conversion, and we'll get more information as we get closer to the trip.  Travelers checks, debit cards, travel ATM cards, and several other options are all available for you to consider.
