In my area they do - but I live relatively close to Chile. Maybe not that easy in Buenos Aires then?

That would be another option. But I was suggesting buying Chilean pesos directly at a cueva.

You are better off exchanging at blue rate here in Argentina. They accept them at the AFEX currency exchange at the airport but the exchange rate is pretty bad.

"Last year it took in a record 2,320 refugees" are you kidding?

Chile actually also has different national air fares for residents with a RUT.

If you google the title only that one link comes up. Seems a little strange.

I do not use my non-Argentinian cards inside Argentina at all. You lose too much money if you use them. For example based on today's exchange rate a purchase worth 1000 pesos with your non-Argentinean debit or credit would cost you about 107 dollars. With money received via Ria it would cost you...

no surprises here

Only drove it little bit south of Puerto Montt so really no experience, but most of it should be gravel. Also check out the map https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carretera_Austral.png With a small (regular?) car that route might not be too much fun ... seems more something for suv...

How about by bus via Chile?

You could drive the Carretera Austral on the the Chilean side. But it is not a continuos road - so you would have to take ferries as well to get all the way to Puerto Montt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carretera_Austral

Futaleufu should be the next one for cars that is further south - but I have never taken that one. http://www.pasosfronterizos.gov.cl/cf_futaleufu.html

By car? Boat? Hiking? Where in Chile do you want to go? I have driven across the Cardenal Samoré between Bariloche and Osorno several times. All asphalt. Easy to drive. You can easily get to Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt etc. or further north from there.

Still no dollars ;)

A quick update on the ATM fees for debit cards in Chile. I was just in Santiago and BancoEstado is now charging ATM fees as well. The fee was 4.000 for a 400.000 withdrawal. So it looks like Banco Security is the last one not charging fees. But they have very few ATM's ...

I will try adding the starch. Thanks for the tip. Back home they sold little packets of powder to mix into the cream - probably similar to that pannafix from Italy. So the Serenissima 500 ml box worked well for you?

Have you tried to make whipped cream with the cream they sell here? Has not worked well for me.

Jan - Feb will not be warm - but will be hot there. For warm and dry you might want to consider Mendoza.

... and a year later
