Certain areas of Argentina have a low risk of Malaria including the northern Salta province (along Bolivian border). It is very important to check with your doctor before you go about whether malarial medication is required for the areas you are visiting.

Extra care should also be taken to avoid mosquito bites as cases the Zika virus have been reported. Sleeping under a mosquito net at night is advised as is using a strong repellent containing at least 50% DEET.
