My trip is 1 month away. Nothing available cheaper than US $220.

Is it worse than driving in Indonesia/Thailand?

Does it make a financial sense to rent a car to see both sides, or taxis/buses would be sufficient?

How much is entrance fees at this moment? Where one can get pesos from ATMs at Argentine side safely? I mean without card skimming risk?

I don't. I am travelling there on a passport which does not require visa from Brazil.

All buses or just some particular one? If I do not intend to go to Paraguay but only want to go to Argentina, what should I do?
