Internet access in Argentina is very cheap and widespread. In Tucumán, there are many “cybers” (as cyber cafes are known here) scattered around the city. They provide broadband access at extremely cheap rates (between 0,75 and 1 peso = US$ 0,25-0,30 per hour). Some hotels and hostels also provide internet access to their guests. The only wi-fi spot is located at the Catalinas Park Hotel.

Helpfulness
When in Tucuman, you must try “empanadas”. Basically, it’s a half-moon of light pastry containing beef minced by hand, flavored with scallion, cumin and a bit of chili. Some of them also contain raisins but you can order without them. They’re really delicious (one of the Tucumanos' favorite meals) and quite cheap. Available in almost all restaurants.
