Argentina: $980.80 ARS ($3.54 USD)
In Argentina, converting from the native currency to another is complicated. If you pay for government services at the embassy, they will respect the official rate but the ability to obtain dollars at the official price has more to do with who you are than what you know. Moving dollars in, is complicated, sending dollars out seems to be complicated when going through the banking system. In the end the free market price as of today is 277 ARS/USD.
I hear things are getting ever more complicated in Argentina. I was thinking of going there in a few months or next year and staying for three months. Would you recommend traveling there now, or am I going to have major headaches exchanging my dollars for a fair rate?
Thank you so much for taking the time. Much appreciated.
