Vegan Travel
Argentina is not an easy country for vegans: the food culture is built around beef, dairy, and animal products at every level. That said, Buenos Aires has developed a genuine vegan and vegetarian restaurant scene over the past decade, and most major cities now have at least a handful of plant-based options.
