You should double check, regulations about currency markets are changing very often, custom/immigration officials will almost for sure ask you how much currency you are bringing and for what, and as the trip advisor page says don't expect to be able to convert back leftover pesos to foreign currency.
There are several sites and news media pages where you can check the current exchange rates, and expect some volatility on the prices

I believe so, but when I was there a few years ago for the ICANN meeting, excess cash was not a problem. It wasn't hard to estimate how much cash I'd need, and whatever was left I spent at the airport. The wine they drink in Argentina is often better than the stuff they send to the UK (which isn't bad) and much cheaper. Take some home in your suitcase, even if you have to pay duty it's a bargain.Is this above advice from Tripadvisor correct?
This still doesn't mean I think a meeting in South America is a good idea, though. See other messages.
