Any place to exchange Argentinian Peso in La Paz.
Hello
I have some Argentinian Pesos I would like to exchange. I asked at a couple of casas de cambio and they said I would have to go to DF or Guadalajara
but I thought I would ask to see if there might another place.
Thanks

I would think a bank would be your best bet....but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Edit: On second thought, many local banks won't exchange $$ unless you have an account with them! Do you have an ATM card? That might be the
easiest way to get local currency.

Or....don't they have a Foreign Book down there? Usually they'll take anything on a bet.
A hundred years ago, when I was growlin' around TJ and running short of money, I'd go to Caliente and cash a check with hardly a question. They wanted
me to gamble and didn't mind doing a bit of that themselves just to relieve me of my money.

Try Bancomer
BBV owns it and also some Argentinean banks.

Nobody is going to take Argentinian pesos in all of Baja.
