Taxis: Tips aren’t expected, but consider rounding up to the nearest whole peso so the driver doesn’t have to sort out change. If they help you with your bags, add on a bit more as a token of appreciation. Hospitality: Tip tour guides up to 20 percent and always give bag handlers a small bill or two. whototip.net/tipping-in-argentina whototip.net/tipping-in-chile bkwinetours.com/travelog/argentina-faq-tippi… $ 1 60 ARS $ 5 300 ARS $ 10 600 ARS $ 50 3000 ARS $100 6000 ARS #Todo: - Get USD Cash - Print stuff - Passport app - Tickets - Invoices - Insurance - FX Cheatsheets - Laundry - Ibuprofen (Advil) - Travel notifications - Schwabb @done - Uber Visa @done - WF Propel Amex @done - CapitalOne Visa @done - Amazon Visa @done - CitiBank - 1.888.248.4226, 0 #Maps: - @BuenosAires goo.gl/maps/PjRYSZYgHufaz3ck8 - @Calafate goo.gl/maps/Yi8ESPuKm5k1T4Z9A - @Calafate to @PuertoNatales goo.gl/maps/3XPmRe9XG7vFC9Bn8 - @PuertoNatales to PUQ goo.gl/maps/LEiX2kRfucJBfes86 - @BuenosAires + @Patagonia goo.gl/maps/Gko17CYRGhfnLfRm9 - @Patagonia goo.gl/maps/4e4R6S4RmRm3acK86
