Currency exchange in Iguazu, Argentina

Does anyone know where I can exchange U.S. dollars for Argentinean pesos at the blue dollar rate in Iguazu, Argentina? Thanks.

tripplanner001: in theory, exchanging at the blue rate is an illegal activity. So, that means no one is going to tell you, on a public forum, where to go. Ask your hotel, guide or whatever. You should also know that, as you get farther away from Buenos Aires, the rate you'll get will deteriorate.

Have a great time in our country.

Thanks avrooster. Do you know if U.S. dollars or Brazilian reais are readily acceptable in Iguazu?

US 100 dollar bills in good shape are best, but reals should also be readily exchanged.

Here you can get an idea of how the blue or "informal" market stands in BA:
