Blue dolar/ Black market & withdrawals fees in Argentina 2018
I already know that inflation hits hard Argentinian economy. Shame..
So, any recent stories/ experiences about the currency fluctuations? And how are you dealing with this matter in Argentina? Do you carry USD/ Euro and exchange locally? Do you withdraw money from the local ATMs?
Heard (in a week I will have first hand experience) that the commission fees are crazy high!
XE & local exchange offices in the border town of Encarnacion in Paraguay give 1 USD for 37 Pesos Argentinos.
The latest online sources (=Google) mention that the blue market is non-existent any more and exchanging officially is your best bet. I also found several websites that post the today rate of blue dolar. Pretty much the same with XE & what is offered locally.
What is your experience fellow traveller??
Thanks a lot
Nikos
