There are several really good hospitals in Cordoba. A couple of the best in my opinion are Sanatorio Allende (2 locations in different parts of town) and Hospital Privado. I personally prefer Sanatorio Allende. How is your Spanish? Read More

Dollar denominations for BA Salta trip by davidrt

I would not count on any stores accepting dollars and certainly not in smaller denominations. For the most part, your only option is to bring 100 dollar bills and change them at the dólar blue rate in cuevas (caves). Try to get stuck at the ... Read More
