I was going to say the same! https://www.youtube.com/@mundozamba/videos

Could someone provide a link to the new rates or state the actual costs? I am on my way to Argentina and a bit more specifics would be really helpful! Thank you. Also, what Prepagas are preferred/ recommended?

This is a new Hulu series. I've just started watching it, so I don't know much about it but it looks like fun. Official trailer:

Cuevas can charge as little as 3% for exchanging crypto to pesos, depending on the day and the amount. You need to arrange it ahead of time if you want to exchange for dollars, which they can also do.

I know somebody who uses the Lemon wallet in USDT and then the corresponding Lemon card to fund a Mercado Pago card. Then, the Mercado Pago is used for any type of purchase and funds are subtracted from the USDT in the Lemon wallet.

Some credit cards waive international transaction fees. I just used my Costo Citi VISA card on my recent trip to Argentina and I paid no transaction fees.

Can you give us names of some of them? What companies and what banks? Thanks.

I'd like to attend next time, too! When will that be?

Good luck with your move and please keep us posted. I also have pets and want to take them to Argentina and still haven't figured out the best way. I understand in cargo is only for very small pets. I did find out Aerolineas Argentinas has cargo flights out of Miami specifically for animals...
