    Colonia money run via Buquebus - A quick review

    I'm returning via Buquebus this afternoon, so I can let you know. Yesterday when I departed Buenos Aires they escorted the business class passengers onboard before everyone else, and likewise, we disembarked first when we arrived in Colonia. I'm assuming (hopefully) it will be the same returning...

    Colonia money run via Buquebus - A quick review

    Perhaps chaos is the norm and I just picked a good day to go...not sure. But it was certainly a lot more painless than I expected it to be. I've only been in BA for three weeks, so still a lot to learn. I was a little surprised when I forwarded a few pics to my Airbnb host and she mentioned...

    Colonia money run via Buquebus - A quick review

    Earning dollars, spending pesos

    I don't think that's possible, but even if it were, it still would require me to go to Colonia on a regular basis. I'm going in a few days and the roundtrip BuqueBus ticket was over $100 USD, so I'm not keen on repeating if I can help it. Finding someone reliable in Buenos Aires would be ideal I...

    Earning dollars, spending pesos

    Yeah, I gathered that. Since my Spanish isn't great (yet), I guess I don't mind a reasonable "donation" for easy info if it saves me from having to bounce around Buenos Aires and figure it out on my own. I guess I see it as someone offering me a ride and me giving them some gas money to say...

    Earning dollars, spending pesos

    @earlyretirement - I just landed a couple of weeks ago and need to find a cueva that can give me USD. Been lurking around the forum about a month or so and I remember reading a thread where someone mentioned there are cuevas here that will accept USD Paypal transfers and then give you physical...
