    Travel Traveling to Buenos Aires

    To my recollection there are no issues bringing USD in. i don't know if you even have to declare it, probably if you did it might raise more eyebrows haha. the bigger issue would be your safety carrying around that much cash, honestly. i wouldn't chance it.
