bubbachief Posted August 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2018 We are doing a Buenos Aires round trip cruise in December with stops down the coast and around Cape Horn. Also spending 5 days in BA after the cruise What will be the bug situation and should we take spray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg4502 Posted August 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I was just there in Feb/March. I had it with me, but never used it. If you were going on a more tropical tour, you would probably want to use it. Take some, better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

FredZiffle Posted August 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Never needed it around the horn, in BA, or at Iguazu Falls. Don't recall even seeing a bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted August 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Never needed it around the horn, in BA, or at Iguazu Falls. Don't recall even seeing a bug! Our experience too (but we had it with us) on a cruise from Los Angeles to Rio de Janiero with a post cruise trip to Iguazu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvbaskey Posted August 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2018 We had a few bugs in Ushuaia (Jan 2018) when hiking in the National Park - but nothing that concerned us, nor bothered us. All other ports of call, not a bug to be seen. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngirl2 Posted September 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2018 No problems with bug when I did this cruise in November. Do take sunscreen, and do pack bug spray, just in case. Make sure you take layers of clothing.....can be cool and very windy in some places!!!!!!! I love, love, love this cruise and will do it again in the near future! Enjoy!

Trend Posted September 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2018 It depends on when and where your SA cruise goes. Ours is from BA to Rio and back so it stops in many Brazil ports and that is where bugs are as well as the Falls. We just got our YF vaccine as needed for these area. (Travel Dr showed the map area CDC also lists it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
