Inside Argentina’s Most Dangerous Hood | VILLA 31 🇦🇷

Probably not my smartest move to waltz into the most notorious slum in Argentina. Thankfully I made friends along the way. The area is dangerous so this is not recommend, especially if you cannot speak a word of Spanish like myself.
Villa 31, also known as Barrio 31, is a shantytown located in the Retiro neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The settlement is home to a diverse community of immigrants, many of whom come from other parts of South America, and is one of the largest and most densely populated slums in the city. Despite being located in the centre of Argentina's capital, Villa 31 lacks basic infrastructure and public services, and residents often live in crowded and unsanitary conditions. Over the years, the Argentine government and various NGOs have made efforts to improve living conditions in Villa 31 and other slums in the city, but challenges such as poverty and lack of affordable housing remain.

[@mevoyderutas]

Nice video bro, even I don't know that neighborhood hahahaha but they told me it's more or less dangerous

[@GoingGlobull]

Thanks bro yeah it was a very different place. Very cool people

[@dalerojo2.091]

That's the most famous shanty town in Argentina because it's very close to the city center of Buenos Aires and also is one of the most populated.
But is not the most dangerous one, there are several shanty towns that are worse.

[@GoingGlobull]

I’ll see them when I’m back. Thanks for the info

[@dalerojo2.091]

@@GoingGlobull only in Buenos Aires and its metropolitan area there are hundreds of shanty towns.
For you having an idea, the city of Buenos Aires has 3 million people, and its metropolitan area (composed of more than 100 satellite cities) about 12/13 million.
Anyway, the most populated and overcrowded shanty towns are located in the city of Buenos Aires, but in its metropolitan area there are way more, and many of them are much newer, so have worse infrastructure (while most shanty towns in the city of Buenos Aires have already existed for more than 50 years).
