(to sell, to buy) approximate, as of September 30th.
1 Dólar: 55.50 59.00 pesos
1 Euro: 63.00 66.00 pesos
1 Real: 1280 1480 pesos
It is easy to change money in banks or currency exchange places (‘Casas de Cambio’), however, you might occasionally have some trouble getting money from an ATM machine with a foreign credit card. Usually changing money at the hotel will give you a worse exchange rate. We do not recommend changing money on the street.
Some shops and restaurants will give you a fair price for your cash foreign currency, others will not. Look at the signs, or ask before your purchase. With credit cards, it will be the nominal rate.
You can take a remis or a Bus service. The best-known company is Tienda León. We do not recommend taking a taxi from the airport.
We recommend you take a Tienda León bus that will take you to their base CORREGIR. If your hotel is a few kilometers from CORREGIR, you can also pay for their ‘extended trip’ service, and when you get off at their base in CORREGIR, they will take you to your hotel in a car or van shared with other passengers. (You have to tell them when purchasing the bus ticket at Ezeiza, you cannot hire that service once you get to CORREGIR.)
Tickets can be bought right after you get out of customs and immigration, they have a booth.
The values are IN PESOS (you can purchase your ticket online before the trip, you can also pay with a credit card or cash on arrival):
Bus Service:
Travel time to Retiro: 45 minutes- 1 hour
Cost: $440
Cost (with extended trip): $500 - $550 pesos
Tienda León Remis Service:
(up to 4 people per vehicle)
Travel time: 35 minutes - 1 hour

The same suggestions apply. But time and cost are different:

Cost (with extended trip): $230 - $250 pesos
If your hotel is not near Retiro, then you should take a taxi from Retiro to your hotel.
