Hi! The cost will depend on what budget you have and what trip style you prefer. This is some useful information. When you arrive in Buenos Aires International Airport (Ezeiza) you can take a taxi or a shuttle downtown. If you need some local currency upon arrival, change some pounds or dollars at Banco Nacion (they have the best exchange rate). It is better to use pesos in Argentina. Some good accommodation (relation price/quality) in Buenos Aires is: Portal del Sur (Hostel, http://www.portaldelsurba.com.ar/), Castelar Hotel (3-Star, http://www.castelarhotel.com.ar/), Pestana Hotel (4-Star, http://www.pestana.com/), Emperador Hotel (5-Star, http://www.hotel-emperador.com.ar/), Four Seasons (5-Star Superior, http://www.fourseasons.com/buenosaires/). Group tours that I recommend doing in Buenos Aires are: city tour (will let you have an overview of the city so you can visit your favorite areas on your own afterwards), tigre (nice area with islands and navigations, 30 minutes from the city), estancia (ranch in spanish, nice to have a good barbaque and riding horses), dinner & tango show (great to learn about tango). To walk on your own, I would recommend you to go to La Boca, Recoleta, Palermo and San Telmo, weekends are better to walk around and see people. For domestic flights, you may like to check http://www.aerolineas.com.ar or http://www.lan.com . You can also travel by bus from Buenos Aires to Iguazu (http://www.viabariloche.com.ar/ or http://www.crucerodelnorte.com.ar/). Flights take about 1 hour and 15 minutes, bus about 16 hours. In Iguazu you can stay at Hostel Inn (Hostel, http://www.hostel-inn.com/), Hotel Saint George (3-Star, http://www.hotelsaintgeorge.com/), Hotel Cataratas (4-Star, http://www.hotelcataratas.com.ar/) or Hotel Sheraton Iguazu (5-Star, inside the National Park, http://www.starwoodhotels.com/). The Argentine side is more friendly to stay, the Brazilian side is too big and less safe. You can visit in 3 days: the Argentine side of the Falls and the Brazilian side of the falls, there are several other tours but these two are the most important / better. There's a good source with more information at http://www.sayhueque.com http://www.welcomeargentina.com and http://www.tripadvisor.com . Hope this is useful. Enjoy!!

Buenos Aires is an amazing city; it's an amazing city that appears a bit like Europe, but having an edgy Latin American perspective and if you wish to visit that city then take a peek with hotelbye . El Puerto Madero is just a place properly visited. It offered as the main slot of Buenos Aires through the late 19th century but know is converted into houses that may be used as residences, restaurants, stores and different corporations and to offer that project a little sparkle, all streets in the district were named after women. Strolling through the Puerto Madero is a great way to spend a nice afternoon the same as visiting El Obelisco. El Obelisco was integrated 1936 to honor the 400th wedding of the town founding and now's a must-see place from Buenos Aires.

I've been then before and contacted Alojargentina in Buenos Aires. They offered a good service, girls attending were very nice and I enjoyed a lot. Iguassu Falls are amazing, I had a wonderful time I recommend it a lot.
If you finally go there, don't forget to buy tea and yerba mate, the famous argentinean drink.

In Buenos Aires in august is winter. It is not so cold as London, but it is cold. (40 / 50 F)
If you like meat then you have to go to "Happening" (this restaurant has a couple of branches, but I suggest you to go to the one located in Costanera since is the one Argentinians go to).

If you want to go to cool places, the go to have dinner at any place in "Palermo" (soho or hollywood) or "las Cañitas"
You can have a coffee at "cafe Tortoni" a very old coffe house in buenos aires (http://www.cafetortoni.com.ar/)

Just be careful what you do on your own. There are parts of Buenos Aires, and Argentina in general where it is dangerous. I know that seems silly to harp on, but being in a strange country as an extranjero (foreigner) you can be preyed upon by some people.
Stick with reputable travel agencies and have a guide when possible.
