There are spectacular swimming holes in Mina Clavero. Just walk upstream from town. La Cumbrecita is also neat.

There are lots of small rental companies near the city center and I've found them to be cheaper and just as good as the ones at the airport

Have you considered Rwanda instead?

Fiwind gave me an obscenely high limit, though YMMV

I once wondered about this and looked into it, thinking maybe it could be a good business opportunity. Correct, there are no self service options. It has to do with the high cost of imported equipment, low cost of labor, and the fact that people will steal clothes doesn't help.

I lived for two years roaming between hostels, hotels, and mining camps and not once had an issue.

Keep in mind you must do it as a one-way. They cancel your return flight if you have one. There is tons of stuff on the Internet that's way better than what you will find on this forum.

I just got the same message from Santander. Anyone know how to register with AFIP? Can it even be done? And if so is that a bad idea?

I've always brought them through security no problem, and then for secondary screening it seems to be NO liquids, not even small amounts. I always put my toothpaste in my pocket. Problem solved.

I feel like I've been told before that if you deposit cash, you get hit by a tax because they assume you are working under the table. Could be wrong, but I'd double check before depositing your life's savings.

They are about as polar opposite as you can possibly get. Boise is high-functioning even by American standards.

I see none this month. Some great deals in late February (25k one way). American gives away seats dirt cheap (in miles) if they think they won't fill the plane. Not an issue during summer holidays.

I find American is most likely to have super low award award ticket prices (often as little as 30k each way) but you have to be flexible with your dates. They also sometimes give seats away for low miles last minute (within 24-48 hrs) if they know they can't fill the flight. If you are not...

Why hasn't the peso been devalued yet? I figured they would let it slip immediately after the election.

Has anyone used Global66 to send money to Argentina? I've known about it for a few years and never tried, but with Western Union acting up more and more, I'm seeking alternatives.

If you're ok with rather low tech banking capabilities, I find that my local small-town bank is great. Zero bureaucracy, zero BS, and if there's a problem you can speak directly with someone at the bank. Before you go to Argentina just introduce yourself and explain your situation and get...

I just got a free transfer. No code, it just gave it to me. Either I'm a lucky winner, or something I did triggered it. The only thing I can think of that may have triggered it is that over the past week I have logged in a couple times to check prices for different sending amounts, and 2-3...

You got a zero-fee code by tricking WU into thinking you were having a technical glitch? We should explore this and figure out how to trigger it. Could you provide more information about what you did, and how far into the process you clicked before exiting out?

There were some kiwis running hostel 41 below in bariloche. Think it's out of business but you could track them down.

Many airports in Argentina claim to have lounges (you will see the occasional sign) but they are not operational. Not sure what the story is there. As a side note, star alliance (United) lounge at EZE is super nice.
