Rates on the Rise
Lonely Planet aims to give its readers as precise an idea as possible of what things cost.
Rather than slapping hotels or restaurants into vague budget categories, we publish the
actual rates and prices that businesses quote to us during research. The problem is that
prices change, especially in Argentina, where inflation runs rampant. But we've found that
readers prefer to have real numbers in their hands.
Argentina remains a decent-value destination. Although we anticipate prices will continue
to rise, we provide the prices given to us at the time of research. Call or check a few hotel
or tour-operator websites before budgeting for your trip.
