Buenos Aires November 2024: How much will your visit cost? Inflation, Milei and food prices
Переглядів 453День тому
We came to Buenos Aires expecting it to be cheap - but we are in SHOCK. Argentina used to be a popular tourist destination in Latin America because of the low prices. But is it still like that in 2024?? If you're expecting to be eating steak and drinking wine every night, better up your trip budget because since Milei took office, Argentina is not the same country it used to be. Want to know ho...

10 things that surprised us about Uruguay - life in Montevideo, Punta del Este, Punta Ballena
Переглядів 11 тис.21 день тому
Uruguay is the most prosperous and progressive country in South America, and has recently been featured on several lists of top destinations for expats. We went there expecting to see a high standard of living across the board. But what surprised us was that we saw a lot of economic disparity and homelessness in Montevideo. Punte del Este, on the other hand, is a completely different reality: d...

Everyone who goes to Peru has to visit Machu Picchu. But are you ready to deal with thousands of tourists, expensive tickets, lines, and the arduous journey to get there?? Keep in mind, Machu Picchu is located in a cloud forest, so you might not even get to see it on a rainy day! When we got there, the mountains were covered by clouds and it rained the whole two hours of our hike... So, is it r...

    None of the videos describing Uruguay tells us about what might be called the country's high culture. I know that is not a subject feasted on by most tourists or expats. Still, I would not want to move to a country that did not offer high culture in performance art. an excellent university library with books in both Spanish and English in literature and in all academic areas, orchestral and chamber concert performances and museums of art and artifacts.

      Thank you for mentioning this! Yes, it's hard to find information about that online - it's one of the things that you can really get a sense for only when you live in the country and become engrained in the culture. I personally really appreciate art and it would be an important factor for me when moving to Uruguay!

    Homelessness had kind of exploded in recent years here in Uruguay, partly because of drugs and partly because of a flawed prison system (most homeless people these days are ex-convicts), so I'm not surprised you saw many. On weekdays at the City Center it's not that easy to find a parking spot and it certainly isn't free, but in the rest of the country is not a problem, as you said. I'm surprised you saw so many people smoking, some 20 years ago Uruguay pioneered many policies for tobacco reduction and they were quite effective, I guess you just randomly came about an unusual number of smokers. And about the food... as a Uruguayan, i agree, the food scene in Uruguay is not that, specially if you are coming from Peru, but it's improving. Fresh, grass fed beef it's probably the only strength in that area. Thank you for sharing my country to the world, hope you come back one day

    • @GTFOoftheUSA
      @GTFOoftheUSA 5 днів тому

      Thank you for commenting about this. We are coming from the USA, and there the homelessness is really bad. But for example, in the country I grew up in (Belarus), there is almost not a single homeless person, even though it is not a rich country by any means. I guess it has more to do with the country's cultural background than anything else. The same goes for smoking - in the USA, smoking cigarettes is not a part of the culture, although people use other tobacco products (like vapes). I imagine it is much better now after the campaigns, but changes like that take a long time to take root.

    Regarding food: Uruguay is a major meat producer, with a culinary culture deeply rooted in meat consumption. We have diverse methods of preparing grilled meats and other meat dishes. The "asado" (barbecue) is not just a way of cooking but a social ritual, featuring specific cuts like "tira de asado" (short ribs), "vacío" (flank steak), and "morcilla dulce" (sweet blood sausage), which are distinctive to Uruguayan barbecue culture. A unique aspect of Uruguayan cuisine is the "chivito," our national sandwich, consisting of thinly sliced beef steak, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and often topped with a fried egg. Another local favorite is the "milanesa," a breaded meat cutlet that can be served as a main dish or in a sandwich. There is also a strong Italian gastronomic influence, reflected in the widespread consumption of pasta dishes. Unique to Uruguay is the custom of eating "ñoquis" (gnocchi) on the 29th of each month, a tradition that combines gastronomy with folklore about prosperity. The German influence, while less prominent than the Italian, is particularly noticeable in certain regions. In areas like Nueva Helvecia (Colonia Department) and San Javier (Río Negro Department), you can find authentic German-style sausages, smoked meats, and distinctive pastries. These communities, established by German and Swiss immigrants in the 19th century, maintain many of their traditional recipes and cooking methods. We also boast an impressive variety of bakery products and pastries, far more diverse than what you might find in countries like Brazil, Spain, or even the United States. This includes local specialties like "bizcochos" (small pastries), "alfajores" (cookie sandwiches filled with dulce de leche), and "pasta frola" (a traditional quince tart). This is particularly true in artisanal bakeries, as larger supermarkets tend to offer a more limited selection, often featuring factory-processed bread that is merely finished baking at the point of sale. Uruguay's wine industry, while smaller than its Argentine neighbor, has gained international recognition, particularly for its Tannat wines. The main wine-producing regions are located in Canelones, Montevideo, and Colonia, where the soil and climate conditions are ideal for viticulture. Many wineries offer tours and tastings, combining wine tourism with traditional Uruguayan cuisine. A significant part of daily life is the consumption of "mate," a traditional South American caffeine-rich infused drink. Unlike in other countries, Uruguayans often drink mate throughout the day, carrying their thermos of hot water ("termo") and mate gourd everywhere they go. Regarding restaurants, while there is some diversity, it's more limited compared to other countries. Most establishments offer quick-preparation dishes, primarily focusing on meat dishes and some pasta options, with seafood and fish being more common in coastal areas. Street food culture includes "carritos" (food carts) that serve local versions of hot dogs ("panchos") and "hamburguesas al pan" (hamburgers with a distinctive local style). As for pizza, in my opinion, Uruguayan pizza surpasses what you can find in Spain, but it's definitely not at the level of what's available in Brazil, especially in São Paulo. Our pizza is characterized by a thicker crust and generous amounts of cheese, often served with "fainá" (a chickpea flour flatbread) on top, a unique local custom.

There's also street markets called ferias that are on specific days of the week where you can buy everything from veggies to cheese and a lot of house related stuff. Also in these veggie stores you'll have to keep in mind the season cause some products have variations in price and quality depending on the time of the year. Hope you visit and have a nice stay!

    People often are surprised by the small population. Keep in mind Uruguay is the smallest country in South America. The pronunciation of Montevideo in english is Montey-vidayo. We don't really have dialects in Latin America; it's more accents and slang that is different. The best English speaking comparative examples could be; South Africans, Irish, Australians and Americans all have different accents but can still generally understand each other.
