Argentina Ranks Safe and Scenic

The U.S. Department of State today reissued its Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions when visiting the Argentine Republic in 2023.

Published on June 12, 2023, this travel advisory is the highest rank issued by the State Department, indicating Argentina is a safe country to visit.

Prior to the recent pandemic, Argentina, which borders five different countries, and the Atlantic Ocean recorded a total of seven million tourists in 2019, ranking this scenic country 28th in the world.

To honor 200 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Argentina, aircrew members from the Georgia Air National Guard and the Argentine Air Force made history when they jointly flew a C-130 Hercules aircraft to Argentina for use by the Argentine Air Force.

The Argentine Air Force said it plans to use the aircraft for disaster relief efforts and to support missions to Antarctica.

“This is the latest example of how our military cooperation has been an integral part of our strong friendship across 200 years of relations,” U.S. Ambassador Marc R. Stanley said in a press release on June 5, 2023.
