How does someone change money from Euros to Guarani when they first arrive at the Asuncion airport?聽 I assume there is some type of money changer at the airport.聽 Is it a machine or a person?聽 What do I look for / what is it called?

I'd imagine that the cost for currency conversion at the airport would cost more than other places.聽 Once I leave the airport, where is the best place to convert my Euros to Guarani (without having a bank account).

Yes, you can change money at the airport, it will say 篓cambios.篓 I think Cambios Chaco is the one at the airport. After that you could go downtown, there麓s a bunch of places on calle PALMA.

Especially on Palma walking the side-walks you麓ll hear every now and then a guy saying the word 篓Cambio篓. They are street money exchagers and its perfectly legal.You麓ll almost always get a better exchange rate with them, though BE WARNED, you麓ll have to know your stuff... meaning don麓t do business with them in blind trust.Know the Changing Houses (Cambios) exchange rates before hand! And they are also not the place you麓re gonna go to exchange 聙2000 at one time. Friend and I did that once, I still have horrors about that trip!
