Money here needs checking as you go
Argentina has spent years with more than one exchange rate in circulation at the same time, and the gap between them has at points been large enough to change what a trip costs. Which rate your card gets, what a casa de cambio is offering, and whether paying in dollars or pesos is better that week are all live questions rather than settled ones. Travellers check rates during a trip here in a way they do not elsewhere, and that needs a connection.
