Hola! I'm flying internationally tomorrow from EZE for the first time, and was a little confused on their carry-on liquids policy...was hoping someone could chime in with their experience. I'll be traveling for 27 hours in total, and normally I'd carry-on a small quart size bag with some...

I have three travel adapters (purchased from Amazon about six months ago) that I no longer need and am happy to give away for free to someone who can put them to good use. About a $40 USD value in total. The adapters plug into the local "Type I" power sockets, and allow you to use any U.S. or...

Hola, everyone! I have been staying in an Airbnb since September and am returning to the States the first week of March due to some medical issues. I'm posting this on behalf of the owner to help her maybe find a new long term guest. The apartment is on the border of La Boca and San Telmo, a...

Buenas tardes, everyone! Does anyone have a recommendation for a repair person who can fix a broken window blind? I went to raise one of my roller blinds this afternoon and it came crashing down and there are several broken plastic pieces as a result. I need someone to come out and fix whatever...

Can anyone recommend a good English speaking dermatologist in CABA? Or is my best bet to visit Hospital Británico or Alemán as a walk-in? The area or neighborhood doesn't matter to me. My Spanish is toddler level at best, so English is a necessity for me. Not insured, so I'd be paying cash. I...

Feliz año to everyone! I'm hosting a small party for my Argentine friends at my apartment tonight and am wondering if anyone knows of a "countdown to midnight" show or something I could stream to my TV and have running in the background. For example, in the U.S. tonight there is lots of stuff...

I thought I'd share a few photos of my recent trips to Colonia (hope that's allowed here). Been twice so far, once in late September and again about a week ago. Beautiful little town - expensive, but a nice and relaxing reprieve from the city life for a few days.

So, I'm a (very) spicy food aficionado. Jalapeno level of heat is ok, but I love anything habanero level of heat or hotter. Done and won several hottest wing "challenges" in the States. When I go to a Thai or Indian restaurant, I always ask for "native hot" (basically a level or two hotter than...

Just a heads up in case anyone here has an itch to visit Colonia (or Montevideo/Carmelo) in the near future: Buquebus is offering 30% off on upcoming trips using Black Friday code "FRIDAY30". Code is valid today and tomorrow on trips through March 10th. The code appears to be valid only on the...

Was just reading the thread about the French tourist who died after being robbed in Retiro, and I remember reading a Reddit travel thread a few days a back where someone was trying to discourage people from visiting Buenos Aires because "they got robbed in Palermo and had their knee broken." I...

I arrived in Buenos Aires two months ago and have twice encountered an odd problem while buying groceries with my credit card. Wondering if anyone knows if there is a rhyme or reason. In case it's relevant, I'm here on a tourist entry (no DNI), still using my U.S. passport and U.S. issued Visa...

Hola all. First contribution here - hope someone in the future might find this helpful. Today (well it's 12:08am, so technically yesterday) I made an overnight trip to Colonia via Buquebus for the primary purpose of replenishing my supply of USD cash. I planned this trip a few weeks in advance...
