Seguros in Argentina.....
I wouldn't do this again, but like many riders, by the time I got to the Argentinian border, I had completely forgotten about Insurance.......
So in a pinch, you can almost always show your insurance paperwork from your home country to Argentinian police and tell them it's international insurance. If they stop you, they are generally looking for any reason to ask for money, so if they see valid looking insurance documents, they will just move onto another violation. We produced our USA insurance at the border crossing from Chile too, as long as they see a valid date, few questions are ever asked, and when you are many days drive from a city, sometimes you have to lie a little.
HOWEVER if you get into an accident, you will be double screwed. So do buy Seguros in Argentina, but if you forgot.....a little white lie and your Geico/Progressive/State Farm papers will usually get usually get you to a city where you can get legal.......
Ride Safe and Legal....
