What is the value of the Argentine peso in Buenos Aires? |
Right now one dollar equals 3.49 pesos, but what does that actually mean? During the fall of 2009 I am going to be studying in BA and want to begin planning finances. So, what do some of the following things or anything else actually cost in pesos?
Subway ticket
Cab ride
Lunch/Dinner
Beer/Wine
Typical night out
Traveling expenses (Patagonia, Iguazu, Peru, Uraguay, Mendoza)
Other expenses
One reason that I chose Argentina over Spain was to have the financial ability to do almost anything that I want. I'm going to be living there for 4.5 months, how much money do you think I should have available. (I will be living with a host family btw) Thanks for reading, I know its a long question.

Not quite sure what the previous posted was refering to...an Argentine peso and just a peso are the same thing - no matter where you travel in Argentina. A peso is a peso.
I was just in BA and here are the prices (in ARS) of a few things...
Subway ticket - $0.90
Bus ticket - $1.10 - $1.25
Taxi - depends where you want to go. A short trip will likely cost $4-6 pesos.
Wine - prices vary depending on quality. Stick within the $15 range in you'll be fine.
Lunch - assuming you don't go to a super fancy restaurant, expect to pay $25-40 per person, including everything
Dinner - assuming you don't go to a super fancy restaurant, expect to pay $40-60 per person, including everything
Travel Expenses - round-trip bus ticket to Córdoba, for example, is about $300 or so |

I think an Argentine peso is worth one peso in B.A.
Hey, are you going for the purpose of becoming fluent in Spanish? Be aware that the accent in Argentina is considered....un poco raro....and that you want to stay for a full year. Just plan for it...you will learn SO MUCH MORE!
(actually, I find that the accent is very similar to that of AndalucÃa, but then...that is un poco raro también). |
