Is Argentina cheap for British tourists?
Is Argentina cheap for British tourists? For UK visitors (and a lot of Western tourists), Argentina is a relatively cheap destination. Yes, it has its share of full-service, 5-star places, but an average tourist can stay and eat out quite cheaply. Generally it's around Spain/Portugal level, and eating out is cheaper (like steak with wine for £10).
Why is food so cheap in Argentina?
Food prices for travelers are a bargain. One of the reasons is that the government subsidizes many services in the country, including energy, transport, and production. So, compared to other Latin American countries and not to mention the world, Argentina is a cheap country to live in.
Can you live on $1000 a month in Argentina?
Well, that depends a lot on your lifestyle and location—living expenses tend to be about a third cheaper in rural areas compared to the larger cities. Many expats and retirees manage to live quite comfortably on $1000 to $1,300 per month, and couples on around $1,500 to $1,800 a month.
