Hi All -
We have some Argentinian friends that we met in the US and are very interested in doing an extended trip to Argentina. We have traveled and lived outside of the US extensively and the finances have mostly not been an issue (we use a schwab bank account that refunds ATM fees) while traveling to other countries. So after reviewing this forum it seems like the potential options for paying for living expenses are as follows (from what I read on earlier posts). 1) use ATM's and get hammered in fees & taxes with very low limits of cash 2) bank runs to Uruguay 3) Potentially get landlords to accept transferwise or use 4) CASH. Since none of these options seems easy and/or best practice for traveling, how dangerous is it to bring cash into the country (I read the limits are 10k USD per person). I am more specifically thinking about storing the cash once in country (not exceeding the limit)? Under the mattress doesn't seem ideal either.
Thoughts?
