Questions

Don Julio reservation?
Resy opens 60 days out at 12:01 a.m. Buenos Aires time. Sells out in minutes. Bachelor's only option is via concierge for the bachelor name + 2-month-out timing. Walk-up wait is 2-3 hours.
Argentine peso situation?
Strong USD/EUR vs Argentine peso (locally called 'blue dollar' rate vs official). Use Western Union or Cueva-style cash exchanges for the favorable rate (3-4x official rate).
Polo lesson — for beginners?
Yes — Estancia San Juan starts riders on slow-walking horses with foam balls. By end of session most beginners are doing slow trots and basic chukkers. Asado lunch is the day's highlight.
