That's what I do in fact.

But the major problem is that many US tourists seem to be limited to ~320 pesos per transaction (~US$84.21). On each transaction, Wells Fargo for example would charge US$5, which together with the US$3 Argentine ATM charge would be US$8 per transaction - a 9.5% surcharge!
