Argentina travel with young children: inspiration needed

[SimonBsAs]

Moved to Bs As a few months ago. Now about ready to go and explore some of the rest of the country. Looking to get away for a week or so in Feb/Mar. Want natural beauty rather than a crowded beach at Mar del Plata. Plenty of that in Argentina, I hear you say. But - here's the thing - we have two children under 2 years old. So if there's any one out there with very young kids who has managed to do a similar getaway and not come back more exhausted than they left, please get in touch!

You said you would be traveling within Argentina. However, if you leave the country keep in mind the documents required for traveling with minors. This applies if you have a temporary or permanent visa. It should not be the case with a transitory (tourist) visa.

Minors. For Argentine law, all persons under 21 years of age are minor. This is only until the new law passed 2 weeks ago modifying this to 18 years of age comes into force.

The documents required for traveling with minors are the following:
If traveling alone or with only one of the parents:

- Permit / Travel Authorization of the missing parent
- Birth Certificate or Marriage Book

If traveling with both parents:

- Birth Certificate or Marriage Book

Minor not traveling with any parent
-Birth certificate of the child or Marriage Book where the child is registered.
-Parental consent given before a judicial authority, notary or other public authority with the following requirements:
0 to 13 years of age: The parental consent must contain the country of destination, travel dates and details of the person who will accompany and / or receive (full name, document type and number and address)
14 to 17 years: The parental consent should only contain the country of destination and details of the person who will accompany
18 to 21 years: An authorization given by the parents in court, notary or other public authority is sufficient. This, however, be changed soon because of the civil code reform last week.
