Dollar at R$ 5.00, one of the lowest in 144-day series
Guia 3 newsroom · edited by Annie GrellmannPortuguêsEspañol
The dollar is at R$ 5.00, among the lowest levels of the series that Guia 3 has been tracking since May 14, 2026, and the real yielded 3.3% more in Argentina over 30 days.
The official dollar rate is R$ 5.00, among the lowest in our 144-day series, which started on May 14, 2026. The house series does not cover exchange-rate history: it shows where the dollar stands today relative to the last five months.
In this 30-day period, the purchasing power of the real increased 3.3% in Argentina (the real earned more) and 0.2% in Paraguay. In practical terms, R$ 1 buys 304 Argentine pesos and 1,167 guaraníes.
Movement of the day: the dollar rose 0.4% in the last 24 hours, but remains in the low range of our series.
What this means for you:
- If you shop in Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) or Puerto Iguazú (Argentina), the real yields more than it did a month ago, so the same money buys more.
- The rate changes throughout the day: check with a currency exchange office or bank before crossing.
- In Ciudad del Este the price is usually quoted in dollars; in Argentina, the conversion that matters for tourists is the peso rate, and the parallel market has its own quote.
