=== Toll Roads ===
There are quite some ''peajes'' (toll passages). In the South however, these are not so good and you will just be sent away after a while.
== Currency ==
Argentina have a very unstable economy so. the value of the coins changes fast.
The official rate for your money is almost half of what the value is actually is.
For example in April 2023 1$ = 217 Argentinian pesos.
and real rate (a.k.a dollar azul) 1$ = 398 Argentinian pesos.
Almost double.
So don´t change your money at a bank or casa de cambio- they will give you the official rate set by the government. Better do it on the black market where the rate is much better. You can see the exact unofficial rate at http://dolarblue.net/, or search for "Blue Dollar" in google, so you don´t get ripped off. In Buenos Aires you can change your money by going up to anyone yelling "cambio" on the street La Florida. Check the money carefully to be sure you aren´t buying counterfeits! In other major cities, walk down the main pedestrian road in the center and maybe you will find an "arbolito" ("little tree") who will change it. Otherwise, ask your host or friends if they want to buy your dollars.
