In the central fortnight of January, the price gap between Argentine and southern Brazilian beaches has become a permanent axis of consultation for vacationers. For Argentines who decide to cross the border, specialists recommend using financial applications that allow payment via PIX using converted pesos, seeking the best possible exchange rate and avoiding commissions for using traditional credit cards abroad. While in Florianópolis an ice cream costs 2,700 Argentine pesos, prices of up to 7 euros (approx. 6,500 pesos) have been reported on our country's beaches. A report by the specialized account Recorrida Gastronómica detailed the current prices in Florianópolis, showing figures that, in some specific products, directly compete with local bars. According to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, the consumption trend on Brazilian beaches is marked by the almost total digitization of payments through the PIX system, displacing the use of cash.
