Money
An overview of how and what to take...
The Argentinean Peso has been pinned against the US dollar a number of times now in an attempt to curb the rates of inflation that Argentina has. As a daily currency it is, however, the only form that is accepted and so, other than in the large and high-end hotels, you will have trouble using either US dollars or Euros.
What we recommend is that you travel with US dollars and then change them on arrival in one of the major cities of Argentina, or you simply withdraw money from one of the many ATM machines (although this will be subject to your bank’s exchange rate and international transaction fees). Most credit (MasterCard, visa and Amex) and debit cards are accepted (Cirrus, Link, Plus)
