Credit cards are readily accepted. I only used US cash in Mendoza. The sommelier/tour guide and a taxi driver we hired for the Andes trip both wanted US cash.


The exchange rate was 40 pesos to the dollar when I was there. I received 38 pesos per dollar at the blue market. The guy who made the trade started to say no, but I said 40 was current rate, and the waiter agreed with me.

I recommend getting money at the airport. The airport workers could not tell me where an ATM was, so I used the currency exchange, which had a good rate. Probably much better than you can get at your local bank.

Happy to be of assistance! You are going to have an amazing trip, and I wish I had thought of go pro at Iguazu.

Take brand new, crisp dollars with no marks for exchange. They prefer $100s and $50s. This is the official exchanges I’m referring to. The rate is the same at every official exchange.
