What is the currency in Chile and in Argentina? How do I get local money?
Both in Chile and in Argentina the local currency is called Peso, however, these are different currencies (with different values). In each country you can change dollars to local currency at the airport and in different currency exchange places located in both cities. As with any international travel, it is safer to take traveler checks and/or credit card with you instead of traveling with too much cash. An ATM card may be the most convenient way of obtaining local currency. It would be wise however to consult with your ATM provider (prior to the trip) if you can use your ATM card abroad and if there are any fees involved for this service.
