One of the biggest challenges for foreign tourists is the common practice of requesting a down payment to hold a reservation, but not providing an efficient way to send money.  Typically, a cabin or hotel owner will require a 40-50% down payment at least a month in advance - especially in the high season when space is limited.  Residents in Argentina are quite used to making a bank deposit from wherever they are in the country. In the US and Europe credit cards are the most convenient way to do this, but with Argentina's banking system troubles over the last few years this has become more expensive and less convenient.

Barilochetrips solves this problem by accepting all major credit cards via PayPal, and charges a low service charge that many local establishments cannot match.  If you find a hotel or cabin that interests you, we can work as intermediaries to save you time, money, and the hassle of international money transfers.
