    Driving in Argentina. (Non rental cars)

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if any other Americans here know where one can get documentation to legalize their US license for the purpose of skipping the 2 year probationary period when getting an Argentine license. https://buenosaires.gob.ar/licenciasdeconducir/casosespeciales/extranjeros...

    Good Tailor For Suit Alterations

    Yeah thats the one. He told me pricing for a 3 piece suit with a decent wool from Italy would be about 200,000 pesos. He seems to know how to make decent suits, but nothing that wows me. He seemed a bit resigned to trying to make the suit fit my less than normal frame. Im 6' 2" and about 230...

    Good Tailor For Suit Alterations

    I went to the guy in the newspaper article mentioned previously in Recoleta. He was good but not 100%. He has a lot of work at the moment, and I got the feeling he was not interested in spending a lot of extra time with me to get it just right. To his credit, he got everything within 95% of...

    What is involved in getting a Driver’s License here?

    Hi Has anyone with a valid US license done this recently in CABA? My friend was told 9 months ago that his US could only be taken into account if he had a document from the embassy legalizing it. So he ended up with the beginners license. Info on the CABA gov site seems to confirm this...

    Buying a guitar in BA

    Does anyone have a recommendation for any higher end guitars made in Argentina? It doesn't have to be custom made, but something a little nicer than your average guitar store budget model?

    Best yoghurt in BA

    https://lacteosladelfina.com.ar Hands down the best. Made from water buffalo milk. They also have "firme" which is the closest thing to real Greek style yogurt you will find. They also have an option for a large bucket of it if you use a lot (buying dozens of little jars is quite annoying when...

    Has anyone come through recently with trouble from customs/aduanas? I am thinking of traveling soon and bringing back one of my guitars. I was wondering if they are still looking hard at everyone coming it or if its gone back to normal (pre COVID era). I traveled in June and since only citizens...

    Does anyone have a source confirming the newest requirements for entry? I've seen reported in newspapers that the declaración jurada is no longer necessary when arriving for residents. We have friends flying this week from the US, they are Argentine residents with DNIs returning from visiting...
