Money is one of the easiest things to get right in 푸에르토이과수 — and one of the easiest to quietly overpay on. Here's how to pay smart in 푸에르토이과수, 아르헨티나: the currency, cards versus cash, what to budget, transport payments and tipping, with the local specifics just an in-app question away.
The currency & how to pay

In short, lead with a card that charges no foreign transaction fees for most spending — it gives you the best exchange rate and the most protection — and keep a little local cash for markets, tips and the small places cards don't reach. Whether you're at a shop terminal or an ATM in 푸에르토이과수, always choose to be charged in the local currency, never your home currency: the 'home currency' option builds in a markup that's almost always worse than your card's own rate.
