I waited 1 hour fifteen minutes to enter Argentina a few days ago. They are training more employees at passport control. They expect this summer to be faster entries.

Can anyone comment on Clem Helados? I have one near me and I am not an ice cream expert.

Who pays the peajes?

We should alter the rules of this forum. Admin should delete all posts that include insults, foul language and photos of real sushi. :)

I had the same thing happen. I got a lawyer and he handled everything. I got 100% of my deposit back, despite the owner's attempt to keep 100%. Best $50US I ever spent.

When talking about beautiful, livable south american countries, don't forget about Colombia!!!!

Your best bet is to call friends and family. Tell them what a wonderful time you are having in Buenos Aires. You love the architecture, the food, the people and the museums. If they hurry, they can still catch decent weather. Oh and by the way, when they come, they should bring your 5-year old...

Anything worth more than $5US will not arrive.

When I bought my flight, I entered "90 days" in the search engine. For whatever reason, when my flight departs, I will have spent 91 days in Argentina. When you overstay the 90-day visa, even by a day, does your name go on a "list of usual suspects" or are there any other potential future...

Argentina is amazing. For a country that economically and politically does not matter on the world stage, it punches far above its weight in headline capture. Whether its the corrupt former presidenta, the debt default battle that raged in the NY Appeals court for years, the Nisman affair, the...

With GDP of around $600B, Argentina barely makes the G20. Of all 20 members, Argentina ranks 19th, with only South Africa having a smaller economy.

If you want to change out some money here for a transfer there, and you have $100s, send me a PM.

Best way to transfer money is to find people here who want American dollars and then have them paypal or zelle you the money in the US. Seriously - if you have $100s, there should be lots of people that want them and will gladly transfer the funds to your US account.

If you have an account at the bank, then you can sell them at the bank. In my experience, the banks are offering about half a peso better than cuevas right now. I am going to my bank to change money today. If you want to pile on, PM me and you can meet me there at 10 am.
