paying in cash would be $350,(Changing the USD at the Blue rate) dont know if they would charge the $531 rate booked in USD and couldnt care

So for a $70 savings if I can change $$ right after crossing over into AR and the driver will wait and its quick time wise, that is my plan. Otherwise ARS on my CC
its getting interesting the Blue Rate is down to 720 and the Visa rate went up to 641, so its apx a 12 difference , or for me apx $37 , if I cant get in and out of the Change place fast and the rates stay like this Id probably skip changing the $$ in Iguazu and pay using my CC
