Posts: 416Puerto Iguazú
I spent the weekend in Puerto Iguazú where I also only got 10.0 for my USD.
Unfortunately there's no plus side to being in Iguazú....it's the most expensive town in Argentina (maybe The World!).

Posts: 51Cordoba
Here is some information for Cordoba, the city:
There is a blue market here, but nowhere as prevalent as in Buenos Aires. I wandered the streets for two days looking for arbolitos and didn't find any. Some taxis/stores didn't even want to accept dollars as payment at the official exchange rate. I ended up trading with some college students that a guy at my hotel knew who were looking to put away some funds. I got 10 pesos per 1 dollar. Might have been able to have gotten 10.25-10.50, but would have had to met someone off the internet at a McDonalds or the like. Nothing like a Calle Florida here. Start your trip in BA not Cordoba. On the plus side, everything is much cheaper in Cordoba vs BA.
Vampire over and out.

10.55 pesos to the dollar today from "Mariana". She took me into a store down a staircase where she was standing. No fake bills. Mariana stands on Florida yelling "cambio" about 100 feet from Cordoba on the north side. When I entered the store I was the only one. When I left a few minutes later there were 10 people in line behind me with dollars in their hands. Mariana is cool, no pressure, unlike some of her associates in the same area.

I paid 70 pesos in 2007. Now I pay 300 pesos. Thats a inflation of 450 % in 7 years.
So if you have 2000 pesos when returning to your home country, and lets say end up paying 600 pesos one year later in BA, for taxi to town, you can still buy some sort of pussy in 1400 pesos.

Posts: 1099Its prudent to carry about 2000 pesos with you when leaving Argentina even for 6 months or 9 months so that you have cash for taxi and the first fuck as soon as you return.

Posts: 51Do the arbolitos have a preference between $50 and $100 bills or are they treated pretty much the same?
