There has been some development. Many local politicians oppose the new rules publicly: https://www.losandes.com.ar/politica/politicos-mendocinos-salieron-a-repudiar-la-nueva-cuarentena-estricta/ Translation...

There has not been an official communication from the local government, yet (they are waiting for the national DNU to be published). But from what I read in the local news: there will basically be the same rules in Mendoza as announced by the president. They speculate about minor modifications...

I am not positive, but I think the termas/hot-springs are closed. Rafting season may be over (if it is allowed at all)

Actually if you compare it to to BsAs then Mendoza seems wide open...

1. Is it open in night time unlike CABA? Currently There is a lockdown from 23:30 to 5:30. Also, if your DNI ends in 1,2,3,4,5 you can make reservations for restaurants etc. for Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday plus Sunday until 14:00. DNI ending in 6,7,8,9,0 for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday...

So, you think the scheduled United flights to Houston won't happen?

In La Nación they write that American Airlines will fly every Friday to Dallas. Anybody knows which United flights (to Houston) will operate over the next weeks? Here is the link to the article...

I have no idea what their service to other parts of the country looks like. But with Buenos Aires to Mendoza (= greater Mendoza metro area) I have received many packages and the above is my personal experience.

Really in Mendoza??? I have received many packages (different sizes and weights) with Andreani from Buenos Aires. They usually arrive here after two days, maximum three. No issues with backlogs at all. Packaging seems always in good condition. Packages with Correo Argentino get here a lot later...

... and DAI is almost 1:1 with the US Dollar. While Bitcoin could potentially take a dive while you do your "transfer" - the DAI has so far been very stable.

Best experience sending packages from Buenos Aires to Mendoza (during and before the cuarantena) has been with Andreani.

Pretty small list for such a big country. Almost depressing.

It is shown as a national interbank transfer on my statement.

You could use DAI (pegged to the dollar) instead of BTC to avoid the risk from BTC taking a dive. Both Gemini and Ripio have it.

Maybe give Gemini a try? They are a bit more relaxed when it comes to the accepted documents for verification. Also they often seem to have a slightly better rate.

Because otherwise they would have to admit that the Peso has lost almost half of it's value over the last months. Also, inflation would make a huge jump if imports were suddenly calculated at real market value of the Peso.

I am not sure. When I opened the ripio account I already had Argentinian citizenship. They say requirement is "residente de Argentinia, mayor de 18 años". Nothing about citizenship. Might be worth a try ...

Use crypto currency. Buy in Canada (not sure if Coinbase operates on Canada) then send crypto currency to your local ripio.com account. There you sell it for ARS and transfer it to your bank account (it is a local Arg-to-Arg bank transfer with no forms to fill out at your Argentinian bank).

... in case you ever wondered how the Dólar Blue is calculated.

Just like during the Macri government. Argentinians in Santiago de Chile running around malls - shop until you drop. Trying to get pairs of big screen TV's with a taxi to the airport. Even his own minister. Everybody spending foreign currency like there is no tomorrow. And now we have to pay...
