Bolivians, Chileans and Paraguayans make 'shopping tourism' on Argentina's borders due to the devaluation of their currency

Shopkeepers say they do not have enough supply to meet the demand and come to the border from other cities to open stores.
Many Bolivians shop in Argentina because the price is lower.
Argentina is "cheap" for Bolivians, Paraguayans, Chileans and Brazilians, who in recent days have been "sweeping" the country's borders. According to a report in the newspaper La Nación, published this week, as the Argentine peso loses value and the gap between the official dollar and the parallel dollar widens, border cities are receiving a massive presence in supermarkets, appliance stores and service stations.
