trip to Argentina on a budget

[JMM2]

we are looking to plan a trip to Argentina in late April and so far flight prices seem pretty pricey..how expensive will be it be there once you get there? Hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc are they moderately priced?

Flights to South America from oversees are always very expensive, so Argentina won't be any different. Once you get there, it's another story also. Most people assume that Argentina is a cheap country which it isn't!

If you know where to eat, shop and stay, Argentina on a budget is possible but if you eat in touristy areas and stay where tourist do, expect to pay big bucks. It's like this in Argentina and anywhere in the world you go nowadays.

I hope this brings it a little home so you're not mislead thinking that Argentina is as cheap as Thailand:)

By the way, going to Argentina during the off-season (June-August) will make a different on flight ticket prices.
