What is the best currency to take to Argentina?
The official currency of Argentina is the Argentine Peso (ARS). It's best to have small denominations of Argentine Peso to spend in Argentina. If you can't buy some before your trip, the next best options are US Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR) or Brazilian Reals (BRL).Is USD accepted in Chile?
US dollars are not typically accepted in Chile other than perhaps some hotels. You can either cash some money in Chile at money exchange houses or, better yet at any ATM machine using a card.Should I bring dollars to Argentina?
Unlike most countries, where bringing lots of hard cash is not recommended or necessary, in Argentina's case it's a good idea to take a decent amount of cash with you. Specifically, US dollars and Euros, USD 100 or \u20ac 100 bills.Can you use euros in Argentina?
Important note: the currency controls in Argentina have also affected tourists. You can exchange dollars or euros for Argentine pesos without any problem and restriction, but the other way there is a restriction (ARS back to USD/EUR/\u2026).Un viaggio che è stato la fine del mondo!
