What exactly do you mean by resort area? My hotel seems to be in the actual town of Puerto Iguazú rather than the very expensive resorts actually at the falls. Does resort area encompass both or just the latter?

Also to elaborate, I booked my hotel online with my UK credit card, I expected them to charge it online but they didn't seem to and I want to be able to pay in cash (they quoted in dollars) if I have to pay with a physical card and am unable to, and also if I cross the Brazilian border for a day...

I guess the thing that's unknown for me is that I've exchanged dollars for pesos but not vice versa, what rate could I get on Florida street if exchanging pesos for dollars?

Would swapping pesos for dollars on the streets not incur half the value or am I missing something?

Hi, Slightly strange question but is there a way to neatly get dollars in either Argentina or Brazil? I'll be heading to Iguazú early next week and I haven't used my physical credit cards in a while so I'm a bit anxious of getting stuck in case they don't work and am keen to have some dollars...

I probably shouldn’t have took 5 days to collect mine, haven’t had a chance to watch the rates lately

Went to get some cash from WU for the first time in a month today, didn’t even need to queue! First time ever, was an amazingly smooth process. I wonder if it was a blip or the credit card equalisation has dented WUs market

Yes, the exchange only works ARS -> USD. The other direction was exploited and thus reverted. other direction shows 1000 ARS = 2.427208 USD 1 ARS = 0.002427 USD 1 USD = 411.996073 ARS Currencies fluctuate every day. The rate shown is effective for transactions submitted to Visa on...

It seems a pretty weird policy to me. Argentina is already a high value proposition for digital nomads and I don’t see this policy tipping anybody over the edge of coming as a digital nomad so it seems to be a net cost to the state. Besides, I think plenty of digital nomads err on the side of...

Will try this tonight, tired of waking up to them whizzing by my air

I presume this is just marketing material like the following (which has mentioned it will update the visa procedures “in the coming days” - it hasn’t changed in 9 months); https://baglobal.buenosaires.gob.ar/en/nomades-digitales

Can’t wait to see the wildlife, just hoping for no spiders!

So if I use an official taxi I can likely bypass long waits? I wouldn’t mind paying extra to bypass the queues as time is arguably the most valuable commodity on such a short trip. I am sure renting a car would be a great way to see it better but I haven’t driven in too long to be comfortable...

I’ve booked a hotel resort for 2 nights on the Argentinian side. I’m hoping they’ll be able to line me up with a tour operator to go to the Brazilian side to take a helicopter tour. We will only be there 48 hours so if there’s that kind of wait then I’ll give it a miss. But 50 dollars each would...

I think this is a really good and important take. It’s also not about victim blaming as much as it is about adapting your behaviour, or in this case attire, to the environment. I would wear my nice watch in my hometown but no way would I wear it in London nor Buenos Aires. That’s simply due to...

So I don’t need to worry? I can show my owned travel from Argentina to Uruguay and onto Europe if worst comes to worst?

Hi, Ive got a couple of questions if I may pose them. I’m doing a whirlwind stop to Iguazu for my birthday and am hoping to squeeze in as much as I can in the 48 hours I’ll be there including sleep 1. Do Argentinian nationals need a passport to cross the border into the Brazil or is a DNI...

Yes, I come from the UK though I wasn’t 100% sure because I spent almost 90 days here from September til December last year. Thanks for the reassurance, I am sad to leave. Though I hope to spend the last birthday of my twenties visiting Iguazu before I leave

I arrived on a Sunday so I think I will book my ferry for Thursday (13 weeks less 3 days = 88 days to be safe)

Also, NB, I‘ll be continuing from Uruguay to Spain, not for a visa run but to return to the UK for the forseeable, sadly
