How the peso's collapse opens a paradise for dollar earners
But if you're paid in US dollars, that's not really your problem. It's a shopper's paradise for Europeans and Americans — every month you get 5-7% richer, no bitcoin investing required.
Prices that sound made up if you're a foreigner
A five-hour trip to Mar del Plata — a surfer's mecca with pristine ocean — will run you $16 (5,500 pesos) on a luxury bus with lie-flat seats roomier than business class on a plane.
Dinner for two with fresh fish or steak and wine — $15-20. A nice 5-star spa hotel — $120.
A two-hour massage or a private tai chi session? — $15, señor.
