Hi All, Used to live in BsAs 2009 - 2012 and back to visit in a couple of weeks. Guess a lot has changed so have a few questions.. - What's the deal with money these days? ATMs working or $$$ down the cueva still the best way to go? - Any good rock climbing / bouldering gyms around barrio norte...

Hi Guys...thanks for the advice. We met with the owner and verbally agreed to get the money the day we move out. I think she had been ill advised by a friend/rental agency who told her she was crazy to give us the money bacck on the day - i looked into it and apparently owners do sometimes hold...

Since getting married I let my tourist visa expire but have finally collected all the papers together and am ready to apply for my residency and DNI. Has anybody had experience of getting this without the tourist visa? I was thinking it could be worth a shot to save a trip to Uruguay but maybe...

Another dull residency papers question I'm afraid but would be grateful if anyone has been in a similar situation and can help out... Basically I am going to be submitting papers for residency shortly and as I was planning on doing this last year, I have my UK birth certificate and criminal...

hmmmm...tempted to try the local ticket. I heard that if you do online check-in with LAN and take only carry on luggage you can get through OK. Has anyone tried this and what was the outcome? And also, if you did get busted, did you just pay the difference or have to buy a new ticket?

I am planning on flying to Salta the day after we have our civil wedding and am wondering whether this would qualify me for resident rates on the flights (1000 peso return instead of 2000!) The LAN website has the following statement: IMPORTANT: These fares are only available to RESIDENTS of...
