3 . Nowadays more and more people prefer to go fishing or hiking in the woods. Experiencing nature is exciting, but when you're doing this, always keep yourself safe. It's important to remember several basic rules if you don't want to turn a pleasant outing into a disaster.

First, be fully prepared for different weather. Before you set out, always get warm clothes and raincoats ready, just in ease! This is especially true in the situation of travelling in the mountain areas. The weather is really changeable in high mountains. Sometimes you can experience two or three seasons in one day.

Second, pack a map, a compass, and a flashlight in your bag. Even experienced travelers get lost. Before you start your trip, study the map to get familiar with the area you are going to. The flashlight is important if you do get lost. Many trips that start out in daylight will probably become nighttime adventures when people can't find their way.

Third, bring a first-aid kit and know how to use it. Small cuts can be more serious when there is no doctor nearby.

Finally, tell people where you are going and when you plan to come back. That way, someone will go and search for you if troubles appear. This will increase your chance of being found quickly.

Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it's not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $139,000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
