Holidays in Argentina, at a blue dollar: How much will it cost to spend the summer?

This increase in demand does not come alone, but the costs of renting houses, apartments and hotels in each of the preferred places, such as Mar del Plata, Pinamar and Cariló, reacted quickly and the values ​​for the months of January and February multiplied compared to previous seasons. Prices vary according to the location, such as if it is located on the beachfront; if it is a luxury house or a simpler one, or if it is an apart or hotel with services.

A particularity compared to other years according to tour operators, is that there are no longer price distinctions in different cities. However, Las Toninas, Mar Azul, San Clemente del Tuyú or Santa Teresita, retain their position as the cheapest if you are looking for a “gasoleras” vacation. Another aspect in common is that most prices are dollarized, which at a time when the blue is totally unstable, only increases uncertainty, and the final values ​​paid by tenants.

Average dollar values

• For a typical family, a fortnight in January: US $ 2,000 (about $ 360,000) to US $ 10,000 in the case of more houses, especially in Cariló and Pinamar Norte.

The calculations, according to Bain & Company, are always made according to the value of the blue dollar the time of the operation. In some cases they accept pesos and in others “only a large dollar bill”. In the case of paying by credit card, some providers include a surcharge of up to 35%.

• The area of ​​Cariló, Mar de las Pampas and Pinamar is, even at the taget of its price, one of the most demanded, especially in the area of ​​houses. In these cases, an option with a capacity of between 4 to 6 people, goes from 300 to $ 700 per night in Cariló; from 90 to US $ 500 per night in Pinamar; and from 75 to $ 500 per night in Mar de las Pampas
• While in places like Villa Gesell, Mar del Plata and Santa Teresita or San Clemente del Tuyú, the values ​​start between 76 to $ S300 dollars per night in the first place; they remain between 35 and 240 per night in the happy city, and ranges from 30 to $ 300 per night in the latter locations.

Prices in pesos

According to different real estate agencies consulted in the most sought after cities, the Pre-trip is also pulling a lot, especially for those who favor hotels or aparts. In this case, if instead of choosing a house you choose a hotel, the value of a three-star hotel, facing the beach, with a pool and breakfast, costs up to $ 800,000 a fortnight in Pinamar. For two people, a week, one of the best known located on the route, costs 250,000 pesos. Another option: a week in February, from an apartment in Cariló, it costs 100,000 pesos.

Regarding accommodation, the College of Auctioneers and Public Brokers of Mar del Plata He “suggested” that a studio apartment for two or three people should start at $ 33,000 per fortnight in January; the two rooms for three or four, at $ 42,000; and those with three rooms for five or six, from $ 50,000, prices quite far from what can be observed in reality.

On the other hand, if a family wants to rent a tent on the beach, they should calculate about $ 3,500 per day in the downtown beaches and from $ 4,500 in Playa Grande. In this case, there is the possibility of applying the Pre-trip and paying them with the Now 12 plan.

How much does the transfer cost?

To do the calculations of how much it will cost to go on vacation, the trip must also be considered, an expense that today is nothing less. In this case, from CABA to Mar del Plata, which is about 400 kilometers, more than 32 liters of gasoline will be needed if it is calculated, on average, 8 liters per 100km, which is quite economical consumption. At a value of $ 90.40 per liter, it takes about $ 2,890 one way and the same amount back. To that, we must add the four tolls (two on the Bs.As.-La Plata highway and two on the 2 highway, for a total of $ 366. That is, to travel that route, between roundtrip 6,512 pesos will be spent .
