How much should i budget for my trip to Argentina?
Mariela R asked:
I am taking a trip to Argentina on Nov, the hotel is already taken care off. I am just wondering how much should I budget. Taking into account that I want to go to nice places without having to think about how much I am spending, how much should I budget? Also are major credit cards accepted widly? Or is cash a better option?

Hi, Im from Argentina. And it actually depends where are you going. If you are going to the south (Patagonia), you should think about having a nice budget because its a very turistic place. But, one american dollar is 3 argentinian dollars. So consider that everything its going to be cheaper for you if you pay with dollars. They accept american dollar because they are used to have lots and lots of turists, so don´t worry about changing money. They also have a huge variety of credit cards in all stores, so don´t worry.
This happens in all Argentina, but you may found more places which accepts dollars in the turistic places.
It depends in the places you want to go and the things you want to do… In my opinion, take a nice budget and enjoy your trip! Its a beautiful place, and there are a lot of things to do, like visiting National Parks, Museums, Historical Places, Lakes, Mountains, etc.
Good Luck
