Miami with the dollar at 45 pesos, why do Argentinians always choose it as a holiday destination

With the dollar touching 45 pesos, questions about traveling abroad and how Argentina, the second country behind Brazil, which provides more tourists to the North American peninsula visited will continue to enjoy their travel and their medium-term holidays when the cost of expenditure has increased.

One of the destinations in the United States that has been chosen by the majority of Argentines and maintained over the years in recent years for different reasons is Miami. Among these reasons is the fact that it is a relatively close destination, in the center of the first world, with sun, beaches, good food and a shopping center with the best brands – luxury and luxury. low cost– at your fingertips.

But of course, everything must be rethought with the price of the North American currency. However, even with these values, tickets for Miami continue to be sold and planes, even if they do not take off completely, continue their frequencies without changing their route to South Florida.

Why does this happen? First of all, the projects of agencies and major online sales operators of travel are still valid. This leads to the fact that the consideration of a trip abroad does not end up being rejected.

Secondly, prices in Argentina have also risen and, in many cases, without services corresponding to new values. And in the third place because especially with regard to the destination Miami can get benefits that offset the dollar at $ 45.

For example, in the price of meals. If one can get housing – now very common via airbnb – which includes a kitchen (in Miami, even outside airbnb, there are many offers for properties with these features), the prices of the supermarket are similar, but lower. from Argentina. For that we can plan a complete holiday of 10 to 15 days without having to go out to eat at the restaurant.

The variety of frozen dishes offered by the gondolas – from sophisticated French dishes to Italian dishes, burgers and pizzas – is impressive. Each of these small boxes does not cost more than $ 3 and one person can eat without problem for $ 6 a day. Almost as Secretary of Commerce Guillermo Moreno said at the time, in Argentina you could eat for 6 pesos.

Then there is fun. Miami has the climate in its favor. Not in vain is the tourist capital of "Sunshine State", that is," the state where the sun shines. "And with the beach in favor, time can pbad without spending too much.

Sit down for sunbathing and do some of the many activities that do not involve investing a weight, like playing a game that contemplates a balloon, throws a Frisbee, volleyball, or the beach "toad"), swimming, walking, fitness on the beach, reading a book, listening to music; activities that take away the spirit of any conversion are equivalent to $ 45.

On the beaches of Miami Beach, you can eat sandwiches prepared or even bought at the supermarket at prices similar to those of frozen meals.

In Miami, the beaches are public and, although many hotels overlooking the sea offer exclusive spaces to their guests, apart from these, one can sit wherever they want. Even the thought of buying some beach chairs Wings or Wallgreens This should not be excluded, apart from the fact that they still have to return. Good beach chairs in these places do not cost more than $ 25 and a $ 10 umbrella. For $ 35, we have a full team on the beach.

Chain Garden of olive treesItalian cuisine offers a spectacular menu and our taste for $ 15 a dish. Houstons More American, similar to what Buenos Aires may be Kansas, is also a very good option (and cheaper than Kansas). The clbadic hamburger Denny continues to offer very cheap services and their dishes are very generous (including breakfast) although sometimes the level of service is not the best.

For those who want to keep the budget and also enter the traditional kitchen of the United States could try Cracker BarrelAlways near the routes and including a shopping option, this restaurant specializes in very American dishes, from the tradition of the conquest of the West (meat, corn and stews, among others).

Arrived at the chapter of the purchases, nor the dollar with 45 manages to demolish the points of sale from Miami. It is paradise that continues to allow a family to get clothes all year round for half the cost of Argentina. Many say that with these savings of clothes, the trip is paid.

There are several places already well known to Argentineans at this stage, but we mention in any case the inevitable Sawgrbad Mills Mall, the Dolphin Mall and certain Premium Outlets which are on routes a little further from Miami, but this could be part of a day also devoted to walking. Naphtha is notoriously cheaper than in Argentina ($ 3.40 for 4 liters of naphtha) and it is very convenient to rent cars a day, much cheaper than taking a cab.

In addition, Miami begins with the boom in car sharing, that is to say the system which, with a telephone application, makes it possible to rent a car strictly for the hours which one needs, by taking it directly on the street (in strategic places where they are stationed) and in also referring them to the nearest place where we agree This significantly reduces mobility costs, even in competition with Uber, which is also very convenient and works very well.

In Miami, around the Art Deco circuit, you can see emblematic buildings, cultural centers and picturesque historic streets such as Española Way, all without spending a peso. The city has a bike rental system that allows you to fully enjoy the city and Miami Beach by establishing your own itinerary without spending too much and doing exercise at the same time.

So, so that the Argentinian travelers do not despair that Miami is always an option with the dollar to 45 $. What are more waves of visitors in 2016, 2017 or summer 2018? It's good, it makes sense. But the city continues to provide opportunities accessible to Argentineans who manage to enjoy.
