Posts: 2808Holiday bump?
Is this fast rise going to continue or is it a holiday bump from dollar demand rising due to vacationers needing dollars to take to Uruguay? I seem to remember one like this in July as well during winter vacations.

The sole criteria for bringing in cash is noted on AFIP English site: http://www.afip.gob.ar/english/touristInformation.asp
Under the section "Negotiable Instruments you may bring into or take out of the country". There are no regs listed for proving your own funds. Maybe there are some drug / money laundering statues that allow for demanding provenance but if so never seen it listed or had it asked.
Aug 2012. Had no issue entering Argentina with declared cash well in excess of $10k+ USD. Other than the somewhat amused shock and awe from the officials that I was actually declaring. The only questions I was asked after submitting my declaration form was what I was going to be spending this money on while in Argentina. I told them cash rental apartment and chicas at boliches. They just laughed and wanted to know which boliches I liked best.

You can bring in as much cash as you can carry, but if it's USD10, 000 or more you have to declare it and be prepared to prove its provenance.

Posts: 7Basement level close to Florida and Cordoba
I didn't get the name of the place, but it is located on the basement level of a shopping center a few shops north of the Florida and Cordoba intersection across from Galerias Pacifico. The touts on the corner will take you there (or you can go on your own) to where two dudes at a kiosko exchange at ongoing parallel rates paying higher for $50 and $100 USD bills. I went there twice and all the Argentine Peso bills I got were good. I checked them at a close-to-corner store 1 block east on San Martin. The lady there has a machine that verifies the bills. You could buy a soda or candy from her.

Posts: 137The 6. 89/6. 91 buy / sell rate posted on the site Aqualung mentioned is not what you will get at a "cueva". At black market establishments such as a "cueva" the buy / sell spread is going to have at least a ten basis point difference and probably twenty or thirty basis point difference under most circumstances. I would guess that at today's close the buy / sell rates would be about 6. 50/6. 85 which means if you have dollars and want to buy pesos you would get the former and if you have pesos and need to buy dollars you get the latter.
